"Crossfire" refers to the two character lines that run from front
to rear along the body sides crossing each other midway through the
door panel. Conceived during the period of Chrysler's ownership by
Daimler-Benz, the name also refers to the collaboration of the two
companies. The Crossfire's fastback roof and broad rear fenders
made for a rear end design that prompted automotive journalists and
writers to compare the new car to American Motors' 1965-1967 AMC
Marlin. The "distinctive boat-tail rear end that reminds more than
one observer of the old Rambler Marlin." For example, Rob Rothwell
wrote "... when I first espied the rear lines of the Chrysler
Crossfire I was instantly transported back to 1965 and my favorite
car of that year, the Rambler Marlin." Motor Trend also compared
the "provocative boattail theme" of the 2004 Crossfire's sheetmetal
to that of the AMC Marlin fastbackChrysler executed the interior
and exterior styling. All other elements of the car such as
wheelbase, track, engine, transmission, chassis structure,
suspension components, are shared with the R170 platform. An
example of this is the engine bay of the Crossfire, which is
virtually identical to the Mercedes-Benz SLK320 on the R170
platform. The seats from the Mercedes-Benz SLK320 would bolt
directly into the Crossfire chassis. The dashboard layout, controls
and instruments are also similar to those on the Mercedes-Benz
SLK320. The standard transmission is a 6-speed manual with an
optional 5-speed automatic. Base (Standard) and Limited models,
originally sold beginning in the 2004 model year, are equipped with
a Mercedes-Benz 3.2 L, 18-valve, SOHC V6 engine which produces 215
hp (160 kW) and 229 pound force-feet (310 N�m) of torque. Unlike
most cars of its time, the Crossfire does not use a rack and pinion
steering system; instead, it utilizes a recirculating ball system
as employed on the donor R170 platform. Front suspension is unequal
length (SLA) double wishbone suspension with 5 point multi link in
the rear. All Crossfire models were built with 2 different wheel
sizes. The first production Crossfire was driven off the assembly
line on 3 February 2003, by Chrysler Group's COO Wolfgang Bernhard
in Germany. Rear Spoiler, Front Air Conditioning, Front Air
