2008 Chrysler Crossfire Review
The 2008 Chrysler Crossfire returns with no major changes for what Chrysler says is this sporty car's final model year. This two-seater blends American styling with engineering from Chrysler's former parent company, Mercedes-Benz. Crossfire comes as a hatchback coupe and as a convertible with a power soft top and heated glass rear window. Both come in Limited trim. The lone engine is a 215-horsepower 3.2-liter Mercedes-sourced V6. A 6-speed manual transmission is standard, a 5-speed automatic is optional. Available safety features include ABS, traction control, antiskid system, and side airbags that provide head and torso protection. A plug-in air compressor and a can of tire sealant are provided instead of a spare tire.
Competition
Consumer Guide Automotive places each vehicle into one of 18 classes based on size, price, and market position. Offering more power and style than typical Sporty/Performance vehicles, Premium Sporty/Performance Cars usually cost much more and have more comfort and convenience equipment. Two-passenger convertibles and four-seat coupes rule the roost in this class.

Our Best Buys are the BMW Z4 and Chevrolet Corvette. Our Recommended picks are the Jaguar XK Series, Porsche Boxster, and Porsche Cayman.

New or significantly redesigned models include the Audi A5, Audi R8, and Audi TT.
