New Car Test Drive Review

Summary:

Mercedes underneath, high style above.
By Phil Berg, NewCarTestDrive.com

Chrysler Crossfire, with its custom matching luggage, speaks to drivers seeking long tours and major road trips. We really like driving the Crossfire, and we like looking at it, and those are by far the two most important things you can say about any car.

Its manners and drivability are the best part about the Crossfire. It doesn't offer the performance and handling of a true sports car, such as the Nissan Z, and there's no V10 planned, so Viper owners should feel safe with bragging rights. But the Mercedes V6 offers quick throttle and the Crossfire accelerates with force. It corners flat, its Mercedes suspension always feels controlled and it has the latest in Mercedes anti-skid technology.

The Crossfire could nearly be called a special edition. It's built in Germany and shipped here in relatively small numbers. The maximum number that will come to the U.S. will be about 11,000 cars per year.

At a time when Audi is discounting its TT coupe, you might wonder why Chrysler decided to build another two-seater. What Chrysler is doing, however, is building a car of its own with well-proven parts from its partner and owner of four years, Daimler-Benz, which builds Mercedes cars. What the company learns from this low-volume Crossfire will transfer to mainstream Chrysler sedans in the future. In any case, we like the Crossfire's unique shape and the evocative design.

Overview:

Chrysler's all-new 2004 Crossfire is a two-seat coupe that combines American design with German engineering. Look underneath the Crossfire and you'll find a lot of Mercedes parts, including the V6 engine, multilink suspension, and steering setup.

Not surprisingly, it runs like a Mercedes. No Mercedes looks as stylish as the Crossfire, however. Chrysler says the Crossfire is not a red-blooded sports car and is intended to be more of a boulevard cruiser, but we think it's somewhere in between. The Mercedes engine isn't up to the output of that of the BMW Z4 roadster or Nissan Z or Infiniti G35 coupe. But the Crossfire's rear tires are bigger than those seen on some race cars, and its performance is thrilling because the car is acceptably light at just 3060 pounds.

The Crossfire originally appeared as a show car at the 2001 Detroit auto show, and Chrysler decided enough folks liked the design then. We think it's still fun to look at even after its conversion to a real production car. It is being built at the Karmann factory in Germany, which is the same place the Mercedes SLK and CLK are built, at a rate of nearly 20,000 per year worldwide.
