Whats New for the 2005 Chrysler Crossfire?
Chrysler adds the low slung and sculpted 2005 Crossfire Roadster to the lineup this year, replete with a semi-automatic folding top that hides itself under a hard tonneau cover in 22 seconds. Under the hood resides a 3.2-liter V6 mated to either a six-speed manual or five-speed automatic transmission. The 2005 Crossfire comes standard with stability control, electronic brake assist and a speed-sensitive rear spoiler that deploys at 60 mph. Last year’s well-equipped “base” Crossfire becomes the new Limited model this year, making way for a lower-priced and de-contented version intended to attract less affluent buyers.Advantages of the 2005 Chrysler Crossfire: Classic Chrysler concept car stylingMercedes-Benz technology beneath the bodyworkNew lower-priced base modelObjections to the 2005 Chrysler Crossfire: Looks like a sports car but doesn’t drive like oneConvertible top isn’t fully-automaticPrices climb higher than the Chrysler brand can supportSome SLK-derived bits and pieces date to
