[quote=chuck65]OK Guys, here's the real deal. I have 2006 Crossfire brochure that say's, and I quote " See a hood influenced by the sleek designs of America's early 20th. century locomotives".[quote]

I think I can see exactly where they were going with that idea. The resemblance is uncanny.

Did you go out and take that picture to prove the point or is that a coincidence?

 

Chuck, I'm sure Chrysler's brochure was refering to trains more like this one:

I just couldn't help razzing RickZ on his recent Photo op.
His car being black and all was just too much to resist.

 

Yeah your right +fireamx, it's more of a "Deco" train. I think that the lame comparison of the Crossfire to a train by the ad agency that Chrysler hired to promote the vehicle may be part of the reason for the slow sales. I don't think that Dr. Z would approve. They should have made the Crossfire a Dodge and let them promote the Crossfire as a bad *** manly machine. Link it to the Viper % Prowler. A concept brought to production. I can honestly say that I can't ever remember seeing a Crossfire ad in any media form.

Ya know what? The Audi TT looks a lot more like a bar of soap than the Crossfire looks like a train and you didn't see Audi saying, " Influenced by the clean profile of a bar of Ivory"

Now I planted that image forever in your brains, every time you see a TT you will see that bar of soap. At least we can say it's a "clean" looking car.

 

like them too

 

That's truly hysterical! Your comment just made my day. Thanks.

So what vehicle is modelled after "SoftSoap Liquid Soap"? A slippery Lamborghini, perhaps? This could be fun....

 

So, the stock grill is a cow-catcher?

 

To each his own.... I do not care for either.

 

Dont mess with the streaks....gives it personality and makes it look hard!
If you are going to black it out you definitley need to get rid or the orange blinker.
Just a thought but why not try leaving the silver and getting some black wheels with a silver lip

 

+fireamx thinks this photo of the hood of a 1939 Chrysler Airflow in my user gallery, " solves the hood strake controversy once and for all" I've seen the Airflow as the model for the strakes mentioned before elswhere as it's a genuine "Deco" automobile.
