Chrysler's spirited two-seater debuted in 2004 as a rear-wheel-drive (RWD) sports coupe blending slick American car styling with chassis and parts from Germany via Mercedes.

Original issues stocked a six-pack aluminum plant with a notchy six-speed manual gearbox or optional five-speed automatic and Chrysler's AutoStick selective shifter. Crossfire's engine is a single-cam 3.2-liter V6 good for 215 hp.

In 2005, the collection expanded with open-top roadster editions. Both the coupe and roadster repeat in 2006 with two trims each -- Crossfire and Limited. Limited models reflect a monochromatic paint treatment and carry luxury gear.

Noteworthy mechanical tools aboard include power-assisted disc brakes tied to anti-lock (ABS) and all-speed traction control (TCS) systems, even a non-skid device called electronic stability program (ESP). Crossfire's retractable tail spoiler deploys above 60 mph to exert more aerodynamic force on rear tires.
