Thanks for all the responses.

I was not referrng to now...I know the crossfire is old news.
But I was referring to 2005 thru 2008 time frame.

As an example...If you looked in the auto issue of Consumer Reports, in the back where they rank the reliability of all the cars...The Crossfire is not listed. You can find all other Chrysler cars listed and in those same issues...you can find Mercedes SLK listed....but no Crossfire.

Another example is Road and Track...where they list all the cars "0-60" times. Once again...no crossfire listed.

That's why I asked the question. What incident about Chrysler or the Crossfire itself caused these magazines not to include the Crossfire???

Was Chrysler so ashamed of the car, that they somehow banned it from the media back then??

If anyone can shed some light on the reason, it would be appreciated.
I understand that the parts are mostly taken from the 2004 Mercedes SLK parts bin to build the car...but the styling genious was all Chryslers!!!!

So what really happened??

Thanks....Ben
