Hey gang, when you have a spare minute, please take a look at the Crossfire Owners Survey that we just put together.
Actually Sonza (Sue) set it up for us.

The link is Crossfire Owners Survey

Dear Fellow Crossfire Owner and Enthusiast:
Chrysler has changed owners again and has a new vision for the future.
Please take a moment to fill out this survey and let Chrysler know what Crossfire owners think and feel.
The results of this survey will be forwarded to Marketing and Research at the "new" Chrysler at the end of February.
Thank you for your participation in this opportunity to have a voice in the future of our Crossfires.

Sincerely,
Gateway Crossfire Group
St. Louis, MO

For those of you outside the USA this was an oversite by the person who set up the survey.
Parameters are being changed to include everyone outside the USA.
We apologize for the error and ask that you try again tomorrow to complete the survey once the changes are made.

Thank You

 

Completed!

Oh.
I think that you forgot to relock the thread!

 

No need to have it closed...oversite on my part actually
Thanks for taking the survey

 

I took the survey also

 

Did mine yesterday, hope this helps somewhere down the line.

 

Yes I did mine last night, hope it helps.

 

I did mine last night.

 

Thank you Gary, I attempted to fill one out last night and thought we across the Pond had been forgotten about.

 

Done and thanks

 

I did it and told them they needed to have 5year on the car line and extended service coverage and better performance.

Its a make m feel good move and wont make a major market shift in their approach. Woody

What's the purpose of this survey?

 

Shark067 (Kell) can explain better but he will be in Detroit and I believe he is meeting with Chrysler.
The Gateway Crossfire Group created the survey.

 

If the purpose is to get Chrysler to consider a "next gen" Crossfire, as one of the survey questions suggests, I can 100% guarantee that it won't happen.

Although I love mine, the car was a marketing / sales disaster that Chrysler won't risk repeating, especially when considering the new owners. The X -Fire was nothing more than an exercise to prove the synergies between Daimler (SLK chassis), Chrysler (styling/distribution) and Karmann (production).

Closest thing you'll ever see is maybe some combination of a Chrysler/Alfa Spider 2 seater.

I have no insider info on this, just my humble and unsolicited opinion.

 

I must agree.

 

Done....

 

Me too - as I stated in my survey they simply don't have access to the MB components and would it really work based on FIAT sourced components? The summary above about "why/how" the Crossfire came about would be pretty much spot on I think

Mind you I guess we should have "faith" that Chrysler can come up with something (nice) to surprise us

I wonder if the survey owners will share with us the results of the survey - it would be interesting to see the demographics of those who responded

 

It was originaly felt here at GCG that Chrysler ought to reconnect with Crossfire owners. A possible atempt could be made by having a factory sponsorship in the CAA.
The concept was that many people who purchased Crossfires did so because of their loyaty to the Chrysler Brand. Or to the excitment of the Crossfire itself.
Having disenfranchised the Crossfire owners, perhaps they could use the results of the survey to determine marketing direction in the future.

The concept of a non utility two seat "sexy" car in the lineup is fairly standard in the industry. Fiat would be a natural to do this.

Would it be a "better" Crossfire? Dunno. But the brand will possibly be improved by the mystic that has developed about the car. That mystic is, in no small measure, the result of this organizations persistance and pursuit of expanding the pleasure of owning and driving one.

An excercise in futility? Possibly. But consider this. Once the dark cloud of the recession has lifted, Americans will want to have fun again. How many Kcar convertables did Chrysler sell in the '80's. Twice as many as they planned production for every year from 1982 to 1986.

And more than all other convertible models, combined.

So there is hope for Chrysler, and even for the Crossfire badge or something similar, to come out of the merger. If, and only if, they go back to being car guys. Perhaps if they listen to some car guys,.....................................hence the survey.


Big if.

Meanwhile, the CAA event will be a national news item. It cost the Chrysler Company next to nothing to get in on the goodwill and exposure of their brand to be involved in a positive way.

Even if the "Documentary" doesn't fly, this will be a mega event. Keep watching over the next few weeks because the big stuff is about to be announced.
