That would generate more interest in XFires.
And considering the long delay in bringing out the 2006 Crossfire, they could be doing that right now. They did after all, upgrade the engine in the Prowler after the first year and they could consider the 350 engine paid for now or at least share the expenses with the SLK. Nah...probably not.
