It's literally "just" a rebadged Mercedes SLK with a supercharger. Probably the most underrated Detroit-made vehicle of the 21st century. |

Date: October 19th, 2019 12:08 PM Author: nighttime pearly blood rage idk if it's "basically a Mercedes," I'm sure the drivetrain is similar but that says nothing about basically anything else. There's probably a massive difference in the interior and such....A lot of the appeal of a Mercedes is the visual presence that it has. The same thing applies to the Charger, it's based on an old E-class but nobody can really quantify/qualify what that means.
A literal rebadged Mercedes would be something like the Sprinter. JMO, YMMV |

Date: October 19th, 2019 1:59 PM Author: diverse lavender parlour place of business The blended DNA of Daimler-Benz and Chrysler Corporation produced its first offspring in 2003, and hairdressers rejoiced. The Crossfire is just the kind of florid prêt-à-porter that appeals to people in the look-good business. To be sure, the Crossfire does look good.
...
[t]he dandy-dressed Crossfire, which shares both skeleton and muscle with the first-generation Mercedes-Benz SLK roadster, is the first Chrysler product to attain the performance-enhancing SRT label, heretofore bestowed only on Dodges. ... Shorn of its decorative plastic sombrero, this Mercedes engine would look more familiar. It rolls out of the AMG handicraft shop in Affalterbach, Germany, and previously found work in the SLK32 AMG and C32 AMG. Both of those models have since gone to V-8s. Mercedes has developed a new 268-hp, twin-cam, four-valve naturally aspirated V-6 for its 2005 SLK350 ( C/D, June 2004). So the Crossfire SRT-6 is the last customer of a very nice hand-me-down. ...
The local Mercedes salesmen must be doing a slow burn now that the SRT-6 version of the Crossfire is going to hit the streets. The Crossfire has always been rakishly good-looking, with taut, sporty handling, but it needed more power under the hood to make it truly exciting. That's all been fixed by the supercharger and its extra 115 horsepower. The sales guys at the Chrysler store now have a great-looking coupe, or convertible, that runs like a sprinter and costs two to six grand less than the Benz products.
...
Twenty years from now, the SRT-6 will be one of those scarce machines that will command a prominent location at concours across the country. Just consider its exotic concept-car-derived styling, its Mercedes-based mechanical bones, and its outstanding acceleration, handling, and braking.
