Well my opinion is that in the auto industry these days, everything is so diversified and multi-national, it is hard to pin down an exact country of origin for any car. Sure, a company like Ford or Chrysler is based in the US, but they are really global companies. So, is the crossfire born in the USA? Well, no. But we could say it was conceived from German-American genes, and has been adopted by us as an American car, but I am sure the Germans would say it is just as much theirs. And from an earlier post, the English played a small part too.
