Came across this comic strip today. Not sure, but I think its a rip on the crossfire.

 

I don't think this is about the Crossfire, just Chrysler ownership, german beer, Hoboken.

Just ask Kerk Kervorkian, who was a major shareholder of Chrysler.

 

ROFL that is the funniest thing i have ever seen! I love that lil' cat and its bashing the crossfire. that is going to be my new sig. Thanks

 

so its bashing the crossfire, but it isnt bashing the srt-4?

 

I guess he hasn't figured that one out yet--srt-4 made by Chrysler--impossible.

 

It might simply be a rip of Daimler-CHrysler, but figured that most Americans wouldn't recognize the Daimler name? Or perhaps making fun of CHrysler for merging with Daimler? It's a strange and unfunny cartoon in my opinion...read Boondocks, Opus, and Foxtrot, those are generally amusing.

 

Why would it being making fun of a sucessful car? I think it is aimed at the crossfire, he prolly owns one. Its making fun of the rebadged german car. Not the joint effort, that would be poking fun at the 300c. Which is a very sucessful car.

Went to the dealer the other day, and my salesman said he was the last one to sell a crossfire since I bought one. that was in June.

 

Or it could be ripping on Daimler b/c Mercedes isn't doing as well as it usually does, while Chrysler is doing better. See today's Wall Street Journal for more info...front-page article.

 

Someone please explain how the cartoon is making fun of Chrysler. Looks like the cartoon is aimed at making fun of Germany because of a history of trying to overtake others, hence the reference to Poland. The reference to Chysler seems more like it is refering to MB's original suggestion that it would be more or less an equal merger before they imposed their mgmt across the entire corporation. No? Definitely not a crack on the crossfire though.

 

Maybe the writer/illustrator couldn't afford a 300C.... I would be pissed too..

It isn't ripping on Chrylser or the Crossfire. It IS ripping on the Germans in general, Daimler specifically. People, read it through. It's a comic strip. Shouldn't be that difficult--no big words or anything.

 

I'm glad someone else got it!

Speaking of DCX and it's German component, here's some news just released today:

Rob, Thanks for posting the link, It's very interresting.

Is SRT-4 sucessful when there are several on e-bay . The srt-4 Is a Smatt Pt cruser with out the looks. Time will tell all . Kids

 

jeff,

the srt-4 is very popular with very young drivers. that is also why they cost so much to insure. just look at the number of salvage titled ones on eBay. it let's you go real fast for real cheap. srt-4 buyers are willing to accept the looks of the car to meet their performance/cost goals, and some even like the sleeper concept (even though the exhaust note gives it a way).

 

It is popular amongst young drivers. But that is not all that drives them. There are plenty of middle aged people that have them. And they mod the hell out of them. Many are also in their 30's. The car sells. Thats why it has never had any incentives.
