CHRYSLERCrossfire 2003 - 2006

　　The Crossfire released to the public in 2004 was a result of the union between Daimler and Chrysler.

　　The sports coupe was a nice blending between an American muscle car and the elegance of a Mercedes, and the concept car was released in 2001.

　　The production of the Crossfire started in 2003 and started selling with 2004. Its production lasted 4 years only, with the last car sold in 2007.

　　In comparison to the concept car, the front end was revised and refined by Andrew Dyson.

　　The Crossfire was mostly based on the Mercedes’ SLK roadster, having the same chassis, engine and automatic transmission.

　　The rear-wheel-drive coupe was equipped with a 3.2-liter V6 engine developing 215, an engine that was mated to either a 6-speed automatic transmission (the 5G Tronic of Mercedes) or a 6-speed manual one developed by Chrysler.

　　The exterior design of the Crossfire inspired aggressiveness due to the long low hood with the iconic large air crate underneath.

　　The Crossfire had an automatic rear spoiler controlled by the driver through a button.

　　From the side, the unusual shape of the Crossfire attracted the viewers’ attention.

　　Inside the Crossfire we could see clean dial instrument clusters, as well as the Mercedes configuration for the cruise control switch, that was placed to the left side of the steering wheel, where the signal switch was usually placed.

　　The Crossfire had very comfortable and supportive heated seats, power assisted steering, power windows, power mirrors and an auto-dimming rear mirror.
