Warranty is much better with the Sky.

marlboromike · 12-26-2006, 10:09 PM

there is no difference...I Love them both....it was a hard choice choosing the SKY. It must have been a newness of design that made me go with the SKY. Just as a little point to our members, it was German and English designers that designed the Vauxhall...they brought them to England to work on it...So, now u have 2 almost German designed cars.

As far as I know, they aren't making the crossfire anymore, Chrysler hasn't announced for 2007 what they are doing as far as I know, but there wasn't a 2006 model due to the amount of '05's leftover. The crossfire also shares a lot of parts with the mercedes roadster. Also have the option of coupe and convertible.. a base model, a limited and an srt.

marlboromike · 12-26-2006, 10:44 PM

it is sad that the crossfire never caught on...that convertible is also gorgeous...but i understand it also had a lot of mechanical and electrical problems.

**roadsterrage** · 12-26-2006, 11:50 PM

Even though the crossfire's a great looking car, it's still a Chrysler meaning the resale value in 5 years is gonna be virtually nothing.

marlboromike · 12-27-2006, 12:34 AM

what do u think the resale value of your sky will be?

LicketySplit · 12-27-2006, 01:00 AM

I know one when I see one. The Sky is a head turner! The Crossfire is, well OK.

Don't know, but at least in my experience, GMs have always been worth more than Chrysler products.

It appears that there is a 2007, Chrysler has a full-page ad in last week's Autoweek. Unless its a last-ditch effort to sell the leftovers. But i read somewhere that they shipped those back to Germany.

marlboromike · 12-27-2006, 10:24 AM

still glad i bought the SKY but crossfire will always be a favorite...to me anyway.

HoldHard · 12-27-2006, 10:40 AM

Living in the land of the Daimler-Chrysler headquarters, there are hundreds of Crossfires on the road around here..... Almost like Ford Mustangs..... No big deal.

I've had the RedLine for 5 days now and I still can't get use to the people staring and asking questions in parking lots..... My wife didn't believe me until we rolled into Best Buy last night to get a replacement phone and found a parking spot right up front (with one side protected by a barrier). Before we got out of the car, it started drawing a crowd. They were asking her "So how do you like it?" and she glanced over at me with this "So you wern't kidding" look...
