Default Re: 2006 Crossfire needs:

...I doubt that the Crossfire will be the last Chrysler product to use a lot of MB parts. After all, check out the 300C: transmission is a Mercedes design (but built in Chrysler's Kokomo plant), the rear subframe and all suspension components are last-gen Mercedes, and ESP (a Mercedes technology) finds itself in more than a few Chrysler products. Heck, the basic platform under the 300C was adapted from an old Mercedes architecture. As far as another Chrysler that is engineered and built nearly 100% by Germans, I don't think I would rule that out, either. Do you remember the Chrysler ME Four-Twelve? The buzz in the papers a few years ago was that they were strongly considering building a few. But then its strongest supporter (COO Wolfgang Bernhard) was booted, and well, the buzz dried up.
