"The Chrysler Group leads the industry in breakthrough vehicle design," said Jim Schroer, Executive Vice President of Global Sales and Marketing. "The Chrysler Crossfire sets the tone for the sports coupe of the future — much in the same way the Chrysler PT Cruiser redefined compact cars. It's a unique car that you fall in love with, a car that you aspire to own and are proud to drive. We recognize the importance of continuing to lead and being progressive. Crossfire is yet another example in Chrysler's long history of being nimble and turning concepts into reality."
The production version of the Chrysler Crossfire will stay true to its American heritage, while adding global appeal. Said Bernhard: "In only six months, we solved all the technical and feasibility issues, completed a business plan, and funded this product program."
The company will announce more news about the Chrysler Crossfire at the 2002 Greater Los Angeles Auto Show next January.
