Thanks PureVim,

I figured someone would come up with the whole article.

Hey, if Tommy Lasorda can do for Chrysler what he did for the Dodgers, I need to buy some DCX stock...LOL.

 

I would of thought the fire power would compete more with the viper? Can they have both of them?

 

And it says there will be 2007 Crossfires... will that really happen is the question??

 

What doesn't make sense to me is they are talking about roadsters, which I thought meant a 2 seat convertible. We've only seen the Firepower as a coupe. Maybe they are debating on making a Firepower coupe AND roadster vs. just the coupe?

 

I suspect that the cost of the XFire is a whole lot less than what the Firepower would be as all of the D&D cost is sunk. If there is a 2007 XFire, I wonder if any changes would be made to add more HP?

 

Dr. Z is doing a great job at keeping us guessing. All the buzz has been going on for quite a long time. The only Firepower I've ever seen was a coupe. Never saw a Firepower roadster. Interesting article. Still guessing! Maybe it will be a hybrid ...

 

At an auto show in april here in Nashville the people working the Chrysler section said 2007 will be the last model year of the Crossfire, but there are plenty of them out there b/c they still have a stockyard in Jacksonville Florida full of 06's. No word on what's to come. So this could be the last year of the crossfire. Granted the lady showing off the Crossfire SRT6 also told some dude that he could fit his weekend luggage and two sets of golf clubs in the hatch. I quickly told her that was BS.

 

Sure it fits. 2 carry bags (who uses cart bags anymore?) and a duffle (a decent size) will fit nicely with plenty of room for 6 pack. I've done it many times.
