More 2006 Press:

"Unfortunately for Chrysler, sales of the hot-looking Crossfire have yet to meet expectations. While its original annual U.S. sales target was 20,000 units, the car sold only 14,969 units in 2004 and 10,276 units through the end of August 2005 (though this represents 166 units more than were sold during the same period the previous year). Chrysler group executives are reportedly weighing the vehicle's future, specifically whether the Crossfire will eventually be redesigned and built in the U.S. or whether it will be scrapped altogether when its assembly contract with Karmann expires in 2010.

Meanwhile, the Crossfire continues for 2006 with a new Special Edition package available on the roadster that includes a number of exclusive trim items. These include an Inferno Red Crystal Pearl Coat paint treatment and Dark Slate Gray cloth seats, cast-aluminum wheels, a black windshield surround and satin silver door handles and side louvers. The vehicle otherwise remains unchanged, save for the addition of two new exterior colors, Oyster Gold Crystal Metallic and Machine Gray Crystal Pearl Coat. The SRT6 models now feature a body-color windshield surround."
