Chrysler Crossfire
The Chrysler Crossfire is a rear-wheel drive, 2-door sports car sold by Chrysler and built by Karmann of Germany for model years 2004-2008.
Developed during the union of Daimler and Chrysler, the two-seater is based on the R170 platform and shares 80% of its components with already defunct R170 Mercedes-Benz SLK320. Having initially arrived in 2001 as a concept car styled by Eric Stoddard, the Chrysler was with further refined by Andrew Dyson before production began in 2003.
==Design ==
The name "Crossfire" refers to the two character lines that run from front to rear along the body sides — crossing each other midway through the door panel. Conceived during the period of Chrysler's ownership by Daimler-Benz, the name also refers to the collaboration of the two companies.
The Crossfire's fastback roof and broad rear fenders made for a rear end design that prompted automotive journalists and writers to compare the new car to American Motors' 1965–1967 Marlin. The "distinctive boat-tail rear end that reminds more than one observer of the old Rambler Marlin." For example, Rob Rothwell wrote "... when I first espied the rear lines of the Chrysler Crossfire I was instantly transported back to 1965 and my favorite car of that year, the Rambler Marlin." ''Motor Trend'' also compared the "provocative boattail theme" of the 2004 Crossfire's sheetmetal to that of the AMC Marlin. However, British motoring journalist Jeremy Clarkson had a less kind interpretation of the Crossfire's design, stating that the shape of the rear end resembles the stance a dog takes when defecating.〔(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6-9jTTwEIQ )〕
