WHISPERS: Chrysler Crossfire Production May Be Cut by as Much as Two-Thirds


FRANKFURT — A German newspaper is reporting that Wilhelm Karmann, the company that makes the Chrysler Crossfire for DaimlerChrysler, plans to cut jobs as part of a two-thirds reduction in Crossfire production.

A DaimlerChrysler spokesman in Germany, quoted by the Dow Jones News Service, denied the report, calling it "an extremely pessimistic forecast that we don't accept." Nevertheless, the spokesman did acknowledge that some reduction in Crossfire production will take place.

The Crossfire went into production in 2003, and it is intended to have a five-year life cycle, the news service notes.

What this means to you: This is where the synergy between DaimlerBenz and Chrysler could have gone if not for the groundbreaking designs of the 300, Charger and Magnum.

 

that's the end soon.

 

There still may be at least 5,000 unsold 05's at ports!!!

 

Yeah and the '04 left overs are going for $21,000 to $22,000! D/C is subsidizing the dealer some kind of comp for each '04 sale.

 

From what I was told by the owner of the Dealership where I get my Xfire serviced, is that there is a 2 year supply on the docks.

 

Where did you get these numbers?

 

my dealer just laughs at me ...saying...
crossfire...who? crossfire...what???
so no one knows and if they do, they must be bound to the loyalty of the DC CORPORATE secret.

AGAIN i hope they do cut it from their ranks... it'll make it that more exclusive.
