Question Changes from year to year?

Hi, I'm thinking of getting a Crossfire this Spring and I was just wondering what changes were made from year to year of production?

So far I see that the AutoDim mirror was only used in the 2004's. Were there any other changes made (besides Coupe/Roadster/SRT-6 bodystyle and the color availabilities)?

Yep, luv that Auto-Dimming rear view mirror, course it doesn't work really well with rear window tint, but then I guess it doesn't have to !

Yep! The Auto-Dimming mirror makes the '04 much more valuable! That should make my '04 value skyrocket over the years, if the mirror doesn't break.

The 07-up have a radio display that can be read in daylight. The power window switches are no longer backwards and my 08 has a passenger side "knee air-bag" that my 04 didn't.

I believe the limited vs the base package became available in 2005.

07-08 have a dead pedal for the MT6. The user manual comes in a pretty case on the newer cars. In 2005, purchase of a new Crossfire got you a set of free Crossfire luggage.

In 2005 they offered the AMG-built SRT6, auto tranny only.

In 2006, some of the n/a packages came with the SRT6 wheels for no apparent reason.

Get the picture -- very little, no zero, product development over 5 years. Basically re-skin a reliable but underpowered SLK320 and sell it for less than the SLK320/350.

I can see my 04 radio display fine in daylight. However, I have seen this complaint on by others on here?

To clarify, basically the 04 with no options except color became the Limited in 05. They did remove the dimming mirror in 05 though (go figure?). In 05 they also added the Base, Roadster, and SRT models. So again, the 05 Limited has the same features and a 04 except for the Dimming Mirror. One other minor difference is that the Cossfire letters on the rear deck were moved up a little in 05 to make room for an SRT emblem if need be.
