Re: Why was this car a failure?
The original price of the Crossfire and SRT6 were the biggest failures of the car, imo. On the used market, these things are an absolute steal for the amount of car you get.
I know I'll get some flack for this but the biggest mistake Chrysler/MB made with the this car (even bigger than using recirc ball steering) is not offering a manual transmission in the SRT6. I would've loved to buy an SRT6 but the lack of a manual trans was a complete deal breaker for me. What honest sportscar ONLY offers an automatic transmission? I realize that to most people, that wouldn't be that big of a deal but if you're going to market a sportscar, nothing spells that out better than a manual transmission at least being on the option list.
