Canadian journalists name Crossfire 'best new design'
The Chrysler Crossfire was declared the winner of the "Best New Design" award for 2004 by the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada. The award was a collective decision by association members to identify and reward the vehicle that exhibited the "most aesthetically pleasing combination of form and function." The judging is based on exterior and interior appearance, but in a real world context.
