Unfortunate story but checkout what the writer says about the Crossfire.

In this case, law enforcement consisted of two Highway Patrol troopers who lit out to catch the driver of a black Chrysler Crossfire,
a high-end coupe with a top speed of 155 miles per hour.
This wasn’t your usual gas-sipping, underpowered four-banger.
The Crossfire, a spawn of the ill-fated merger of Chrysler and Mercedes-Benz, has solid German engineering and performance to match.

I agree with the assessment. Not sure how accurate that top speed is for a Roadster.

Websters Third College Edition's first two definitions definitely don't agree/categorize our XF's as "spawn". Suffice to say they (XF's) weren't a process of a biological process nor brought forth in contempt or great numbers either! I figure the author of the article was speaking in abstract, but having watched many movies from 'Hollywood' with the word 'spawn' in them, I would not have used that word myself. I'm kinda still interested in who this guy was, and if he was a member. Anyone know those specifics yet?

Looks like the Cleveland Police have adopted a new approach to ending car chases. I guess a Chevy Malibu can hold its own with those Hemi cruisers.
