It's harder to find data for worldwide sales, but I found data for 2004 a while ago.
2004 worldwide (including U.S.) Crossfire sales - 22,680. So about 1/3 of Crossfires appear to be sold outside the U.S.

How many have been produced? Around 61,000 04's and 05's. Don't know how many 06's.

 

Your figures seems a little high. If I'm not mistaken, the original production run was supposed to be 20,000 units a year worldwide. 15,000 were to be sold in the US.

 

I have a question...

Is the production of Crossfires over? Are there any being produced in `06? I was at my local dealer on Tuesday and besides being treated as if I were vermin by the sales guy he told me that XF weren't being produced in 2006. Is that true?

 

Yes that is true for 2006... projected to restart in 2007... go figure.

 

2006 model year only overseas. The US has too many '05 leftovers to bring more in.
At least that is what I have read around here...

 

according to whom? chrysler? chrysler claims not to provide information on production numbers. just ask the 2004 dodge ram rumble bee "limited production" truck owners. chrysler dealers advertised that only 3,700 would be made. each truck was individually numbered. somehow the numbers approached 5K in 04. then they started over at 0 for the 05 model year and built 5K more.

look at it this way - if chrysler built 20K crossfires each year during calendar years '03, '04, and '05, plus maybe 5K crossfires so far in '06, there would be 65K crossfires in existence worldwide.

the u.s. sales data i provided is directly from chrysler press releases so it is accurate.

therefore, chrysler has sold 38K of the 30K units designated for the u.s. market. more accurately, chrysler has sold 38K out of close to 50K units in the u.s.

friends, it isn't a lack of advertising that is resulting in the "poor" sales. it is OVERPRODUCTION plain and simple.
