For us owners we know how much Mercedes
there is on the Chrysler Crossfire, so if you're
Visiting here is the reason why the Crossfire is
not a dime a dozen car:
"About 40% of this sporty 2-seater (mostly the drive bits) comes from Mercedes" http://cars.about.com/cs/testdrives/fr/Crossfire_test.htm.
-The Crossfire contains the 3.2-liter Mercedes V6 that also motivates
many Mercedes models, the sporty CLK and SLK coupes and convertibles.
-Transmissions. Chrysler gives the five-speed automatic its AutoStick label,
but in fact this is the superior Mercedes Touch Shift unit,
which can be manually up- and downshifted without first moving the selector
out of drive. read more here:
