Besides being poorly written and incorrect, the subject article is purely speculative and intended as "filler" for a slow news day.
FCA has their hands full with the struggling Fiat & Alfa brands, and does not have the $ resources to launch a new sport luxury coupe.
Remember that outside of this forum, the name Crossfire = sales disaster.
While everything you say is completely logical, don't forget that this is Fiat, they have been disastrous forever and still own half of the automobile industry.
I wouldn't put it past Fiat to rebadge a 124 (ahem, Mazda) as a Chrysler. I wouldn't even be suprised if they did revive the Crossfire name, as they seem (at least in the EU) obsessed lately with reviving cars of yester-year (Tipo, Uno, 124 etc.)
