Several things strike me. First of all I'm amazed they're investing a dime in anything other than color changes if the car is going away in '08. Secondly, NO Alabaster? In coupe or Roadster? Thirdly, many more men own Roadsters than women (60/40) and that Coupe ownership is almost even but more women own coupes than men, lastly the demographics on the age of Roadster owners is just what I would have imagined it to be, coupes was a little higher than I would have imagined. All in all a most informative article. Great to finally see some good PR coming out of Chrysler on these fabulous automotive secrets.

Gone or an oversight? Discontinuation could be good news for those of us that own an SRT-6. Maybe the discontinuation will slow the current rate of depreciation.

I'd like to see pics of the Gold, but if it's anything like the PT Dream Cruiser or the Crossfire Classic yellow I'll pass.

the airbag safety upgrades are mandatory for 2007 standards.
don't be too proud of them, they need the pass side weight seat thing by law.
good to see new info, thanks.

When I was at the Woodward Ave. Dream Cruise a couple of weeks ago, some spectator standing on the curb yelled out, "That's a girls car!" about my alabaster coupe.
Wonder how he knew? (maybe he was a D/C employee)
If I knew then what I know now, I could have yelled back, "No, it's a (discontinued) girls car!"
So does that make the alabaster models as collectable as the SRT's?

Frankly, I think we're all in the same boat here...

All in all, very encouraging. I'm working on my Brother in Law. He was asking about prices today. Then he mentioned he doesn't buy cars with more than 14 miles on the odometer. The key question for me will be what I could get in trade for my '05 Roadster when the '07s are released.

In addition to Crossfire’s segment-leading technology and styling, two new colors are now available for 2006:
  • Oyster Gold Crystal Metallic and Machine Gray Crystal Pearl Coat
So the Gray that's called Graphite is now called Machine Gray!? Same thing or different?

And that Oyster Gold looks a little to Beige to me. Thanks for the pic Andrew!

Personally, I think the color makes the car look a little cheap. Or could it be that DC trying to go with a safe color and cater to the older car owners that tend to enjoy cars in toned down colors?

Again, just my opinion.
