Chrysler Crossfire

For a car to go from concept to showroom in just over two years is pretty remarkable. Yet US giant Chrysler managed it with the Crossfire, and has also kept true to the original script of the vehicle displayed at the Detroit Motor Show in 2001.

Pros
  • Retro styling, torquey engine, depth of boot, decent stereo, public interest, comfortable seats
Cons
  • Choppy ride, light steering, rear visibility, old Mercedes switchgear, poor economy

But this isn't quite as neat a trick as it appears. That's because our latest long-termer is essentially a Mercedes SLK. In fact, it's merely a re-bodied Merc - the platform, engine, transmission, steering and even some of the switchgear are all borrowed from the German coup
