OK let us open this baby up and see where it goes... here is my opening statement concerning the Crossfire "born in the USA" thinking: The Crossfire was born in the USA... a concept car shown at the 2001 North American International Auto Show in Detroit...

According to Art Anderson, senior manager, Advance Vehicle Engineering (the project leader), the program was a "multicultural, multinational, cross-Atlantic undertaking." When asked why he thinks that the Crossfire is a quintessential American sports coupe. Trevor Creed, senior vice president, Product Design, points out such things as the trunk (which is not as utile as it might be given the boat-tail rear) and the center spine that bisects the vehicle right down the middle (assuming that you're looking at it from above): "No Europeans would do things like that."

I should consider starting another thread on this subject, but let us see how far this one will go... hooah
