Also, would have been really really interesting to get the engineers' opinions on why the car turned out to be a "flop"....well at least on paper! LOL
Also curious how Daimler and AMG treated them. From the video it almost sounds like this little team was given all the decision making power but find that hard to believe.
When these guys did our presentations it was said that the Crossfire just never got the proper marketing and advertising when it was first released to the market and Chrysler did very little to educate their technicians at the dealerships to make them fully understand the specific product the Crossfire was since it was the Mercedes drive train.
It was also said that the public was never very aggressive in wanting to spend $35.000 on a 2 seat Chrysler product again not being marketed as a unique car based on the Mercedes drive train.
It was an unfortunate time for Chrysler but brought on by themselves in all reality
