Chrysler Crossfire: Whites Only Car?

Chrysler has been adding new vehicles with much success since being purchased by Daimler-Benz. The redesigned Chrysler 300 has been very popular with the African-American community and has been affectionately dubbed the "Ghetto Bentley". The Crossfire has received lukewarm acceptance in the black community, mainly because of its name. How insensitive for the Germans to name this car after a symbol that is so painful to Black Americans. Is "Crossfire" vernacular trickery for the "Official Car of the Ku Klux Klan"?
