Farewell Crossfire, we barely knew thee.

It would seem that Chrysler's CEO Robert "Home Depot" Nardelli has started his slash 'n burn program at Chrysler Group. Not to mention the 11,000 employees that are being handed their pink slip, Dodge and Chrysler fans will note that a number of models are being axed from the lineup.

These discontinued models are:

Chrysler Crossfire

Chrysler Pacifica

Chrysler PT Cruiser Convertible

Dodge Magnum Wagon

The job cuts affect positions in the U.S. and Canada and count as a 30% reduction in Chrysler Group's workforce.

It was recently news to me that they were even still making the Crossfire. I thought the last model year offered in the U.S. was 2005. But I was at a Chrysler dealer the other day, and when I made a crack about the Crossfire on the lot still being a 2005, the salesman responded that it was actually a 2006. I checked the window sticker and, sure enough, it had only been on the lot for two years, not three...

I honestly thought this car was going to survive with its Mercedes mechanicals. I actually thought about buying one when it just cane out.
