Chrysler Announces Pricing for 2004 Crossfire
America's classic Route 66 will merge with Germany's legendary Autobahn this summer when the all-new 2004 Chrysler Crossfire begins to arrive in showrooms. The Chrysler Group announced pricing Apr. 14 for its all-new sports coupe. Chrysler will offer Crossfire with two transmission options, a standard six-speed manual or optional five-speed automatic with AutoStick®. The Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) for the six-speed manual version is $34,495. The MSRP for the five-speed automatic with AutoStick is $35,570. Both prices include an $875 destination charge, according to the company. With the exception of transmission and tire options, the company says Chrysler Crossfire comes fully-equipped with standard premium amenities including heated leather seats, power windows, speed control, dual-zone temperature control, customized Crossfire luggage, four-wheel anti-lock brakes with brake assist, Electronic Stability Program (ESP), all-speed traction control, tire pressure monitoring system, and Chrysler's 7/70 powertrain warranty. "With stunning American design and proven German engineering, Chrysler Crossfire is the ultimate expression of the Chrysler brand," said Tom Marinelli, vice president, Chrysler Marketing, DaimlerChrysler. "Crossfire effectively establishes Chrysler as a premium brand, a brand that offers vehicles that are both aspirational and attainable. Without question, Crossfire will attract entirely new customers into our dealerships, including import-intenders." The 2004 Chrysler Crossfire is a low-slung, two-seat sports coupe with a sculptured appearance. Under its hood is a 3.2-liter 90-degree V-6, 18-valve SOHC engine. Crossfire was developed in just 24 months after a concept version was revealed at the 2001 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit. A production version was unveiled one year later at the 2002 Greater Los Angeles Auto Show. With the introduction of the 2004 Chrysler Pacifica and Crossfire, the Chrysler brand says it continues to build momentum. Chrysler brand sales have nearly quadrupled to 481,000 units in 2002 from 130,542 units in 1991, according to the company.
