We can discuss parenting and badging ad nauseum but I have to admit saying it is MB carries more weight with "car people" than saying it is Chrysler. Perception is not often influenced by true knowledge but by here say, rumor and bull...t. Only to the knowledgeable few who own Crossfires will the "truth" be known. I am guilty of rebadging my car to just Crossfire powered by MB, not out of embarrassment but to spark conversation. I can talk all day about my SRT6 and often do, but in the end it doesn't matter what the badge says or what we say, it is what it is. History will determine it's fate, whether it becomes a classic, to be revered or to die a lonely painful death. I suspect that if it becomes the classic we hope for, both parents would be proud to claim it as their own.
