Honest input about the Chrysler Crossfire.?

I like the looks of it. I also liked the idea of it having the Merc 320 motor, would have preferred a V8 Merc with the sound of the bigger motor to match the looks.

What I didn't like was the fact that the motor didn't gave it enough performance to compete with the other coupes in its class- it underperformed, nothing wrong with the 320 motor, seemed it was detuned for the Crossfire - would have loved it if Chrysler would have instructed AMG to pay a little attention in that dept. The performance of the vehicle doesn't match the looks!

The materials used for the interior was a huge disappointment. Some Chrysler, some Benz, nothing unique to state a different car. It gave the impression that time was up after designing a beautiful body an the interior had to be done quickly with old stock that was available on some warehouse shelve

The material used for the interior was also of poor quality. One of the things I usually do when test driving a vehicle is to shut the door quite hard from the inside, and the Crossfire`s doors rattles. If you do the same test to the Merc brother or BMW Coupe - its a solid thud!

I walked away from the Crossfire disappointed and bought a BMW.

I think it is way too small, not marketed well at all and should have been built to compete with other roadsters without charging the same prices. Change the backend, make it larger overall, offer more options, lower the price and give at least a 2+2 seat. Do they even make them anymore?

Piece of **** is my Honest Opinion.

It's a Mercedes. Can't be all bad.
