I've had my Crossfire for about a month, I bought it as a Chrysler. I still consider it to be a Chrysler and I couldn't really understand why the whole MB thing was pushed so much by salesmen and others, but I must admit that when and where I grew up, we bought "American cars". I know that today that is an unrealistic point of view, but old opinions are hard to change. That being said, I loved the XF styling from the first time I saw it at the Cleveland car show as a concept, that is what drew me to the car originally and I still think it is great, but when I drove one for the first time. That's when I knew I was getting one. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I still consider it a Chrysler, but I feel like I'm driving a Mercedes and I have a newfound appreciation for German engineering.
