Re: New color on the Crossfire... boring!
...I was there on Monday as well. I think the color is nice, but not my first choice. As for the other colors in Chrysler's arsenal, I don't think there is much of a chance. Consider that because this is a German-made car, every available paint code is different than what is offered on DC's US lineup. Well, except for black (as there no such thing as different shades of black). Wait... that red (Inferno red?) is also a Chrysler US color. So, at least one paint choice made it across the Atlantic. Call me conservative, but I think yellow is for taxi cabs and orange is for DOT trucks. Now, if Chrysler made a gold color (like the grossly mis-shaded classic yellow that appears on their website), it could be my first choice. Funny that it was a mistake.
BTW, anyone notice how prominently displayed the Crossfires were? For an aging car that doesn't sell, Chrysler sure went to a lot of attention to make sure an SRT-6 was front and center in the Chrysler display (up on the turntable). It supports the logic that this car was never really intended to be a stand-alone sales success; it was supposed to be a car that better defined the brand.
