Whenever I see a PT Cruiser now, I think...

I've rented two of them, and they're actually fairly utilitarian, reasonably well built, and somewhat fun. Nowadays, you can drive one home for whatever you have in your wallet right now. The one big knock I have on it is that it gets worse gas mileage than a midsized truck. That, and Chrysler never should have allowed it to go stale.

It is interesting how much of a customizing/modification market they have had...about the only FWD domestic I can think of that had such a following in that space...the HHR to a lesser degree has also had a following in that space, I think...

I don't think the PT was a bad idea, per se... But Chrysler certainly botched a few things here and there, especially when it came to updating it. That and it was really just a Plymouth, afterall.

I think that was the single biggest botch right there. Not that Plymouth was a Pontiac, Oldsmobile, or even a Saturn... they had a place in the lineup. They should have continued to be the cheap end of Chrysler and could have had the PT Cruiser as their unique vehicle. Instead we ended up with a muddled, directionless Chrysler that couldn't decided if it was super cheap or nicely luxury.

Think of this, instead of a 2.7 powered 300 with felt seats and awful plastic wheel covers, it could have been a Fury. The Sebring could have been sold in only the loaded version and probably not taken so many knocks for its interior. Let Plymouth keep the Breeze in sedan form.
