While most sports coupe buyers probably wouldn't think of putting Chrysler on their shopping list, the dramatic two-seater deserves a seriously close look. Like Pacifica, Crossfire makes the best use of the Mercedes-Benz relationship, using almost 40% of the slick SLK roadster. The hardtop Chrysler delivers better interior quality than the majority of premium sports cars, a wonderfully refined powertrain and one of the most athletic chassis' available today. It is easily the equal of Audi's TT, BMW's Z4, Infiniti's G35 Coupe and Porsche's Boxster, in all criteria.

If sales remain exclusively low and Chrysler continues on, willing to allow the European built sports car to benefit its brand by halo effect only, savvy buyers might have a real collectible on their hands. And no doubt when word of mouth gets out regarding just how good it is, its trickle down effect will directly benefit the sales of Pacifica, as well as the rest of the Chrysler lineup.
