You are right. The Crossfire is an import. Scratch that one. It aint a Mopar.

"The Chrysler Crossfire is a rear-wheel drive sports car sold by DaimlerChrysler's Chrysler marque, and replaced the Plymouth/Chrysler Prowler. The car is built for DaimlerChrysler by Karmann in Germany and shares over half of its components, including most of its interior, drivetrain, and chassis, with the previous-generation (R170) Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class. It is available as a coupé and as a roadster."

'74..after that the Challenger/Barracuda and Sport styled Charger all died

For those of you who think "Mopar" died just after the Muscle car years, you obviously haven't ever driven an Omni GLH turbo. That is one NASTY little car...SCARY FAST. The one I owned would give a big block Charger a run for the money. Many performance cars were produced by Chrysler in the late 80s and 90s. As for the 2K cars, my SRT4 would outrun most Muscle car era machines. No...if performance is being used as a guide to when "Mopar" died, the post muscle car era is not it. It was when Chrysler became "Damiler/Chrysler". That was when "Mopar" ceased to exist.

I agree Doug.  Prior to the "merger" the company known as Chrysler had some degree of self direction.  They even had the ability to sell themselves out to another company.  Since the "merger", they are now beholden to a foreign holder.  That said foreign enterprise is now considering selling off that division and there is nothing they can do about it.  They went from being a company to being a division and that's when it died.
