First parking lot block you hit is going to bust that chin spoiler right off. Looks like a 4 seat Crossfire. Not something I'd buy.

That's why you park shallow. It's not like your "trunk" is going to stick out of the spot.

It’s a Crossfire that has been Photoshop'd to show how one might look with backseats. From what I have read there was never a prototype made of this car. For those who are interested, I do have some pictures in my gallery of a Crossfire-like four door prototype.

What the story behind the burned out Crossfire in your gallery?

Also, are those MB wheels on the Startech? Very nice wheels.

Follow this link and be enlightened...

http://archive.cardesignnews.com/aut...ite/index.html

The first photo on this thread is just a photo chopped Crossfire made to look like a four door. But in 2003 Chrysler was showing a four door hardtop concept with strong Crossfire design elements. Fast forward to 2007 and the new Sebring and.... yikes ! What happened ??? All the good ideas seem to have been sabotaged by clumsy "design-by-committee" execution...
poor proportions, chunky graceless door frames, seams and cut-lines running at all angles spoiling all sense of continuity...Wow ! What a mess !

Chrysler was earning a reputation for turning concept cars into real production vehicles but between the Jeep Compass and the Chrysler Sebring...looks like the "A" team has left the building !

Hold your tongue Mr.

My Crossfire has been called a damn Sebring three times this week! Why did they have to use the signature Crossfire hood?

Why Crossfire Gods?!

There's no telling how many times I thought a Crossfire was behind me from a distance, then only to notice a husband and wife with 3 kids in the back once it got closer. WTF. They spoiled our front end. Now I HAVE to get a grill... at least to make it look somewhat different.

Sebring... the Crossfire's fat, slow, and disgruntled sister.

Its been out for years! Chrysler just forgot to market it. There's at least 20,000 of them sitting at the Port of Baltimore.
