Karmann link
Follow this link to the Karmann annual report...

Once you get into there is some interesting stuff. Crossfire production figures are ...2005/ 8329 roadster/ 4126 coupe
2006/ 3258 roadster/ 1547 coupe
These are MUCH lower figures than I had assumed. Another interesting statement regards the "break even point" for engineering/design/vehicle production (like the Crossfire) was 100,000 units or three years. I seriously doubt the Crossfire total production will be much more than half of that, even IF it extends through the 2008 model year. (and I don't think it will...)
Hope the link works for y'all.

Just checked a couple of 2006s for sale and these 2 had the highest VINs I could find, both with 12/05 build dates (see pics):
VIN 66707 (which looks like a new gray to me, but it may just be the pics)

VIN 66296 (Black)

For total production figures from 2003 to 2006 calendar year go to this thread:

Imagine that? "The Sport Utility Convertible (SUC) took center stage once more as an innovative force."
Beside the above lol, thanks for posting this nice piece of reference material.

Anybody notice that the Chrysler website is showing '07 Crossfires now? Last I looked (mid June I think) only the '06 was coming up.
