Comments on: The next PT again http://www.allpar.com/weblogs/2006/06/27/the-next-pt-again/ Chrysler, car, and other discussions by Allpar contributors Wed, 10 Aug 2011 22:43:58 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Craig carter http://www.allpar.com/weblogs/2006/06/27/the-next-pt-again/comment-page-1/#comment-76546 Craig carter Tue, 19 Aug 2008 08:54:46 +0000 http://www.allpar.com/weblogs/2006/06/27/the-next-pt-again/#comment-76546 Don't Cease Production Of The Cruiser! A comment from the other side of the pond. I have a 2007 2.2 diesel - fantastic! It is economical (yes I said economical around 46mpg US average) Performance is good and I like the solid feel to the car (must be all that weight;-) Roadholding is excellent, something which is important to us in the UK because of our narrow winding roads. I bought Chrysler (in fact American) only because of the PT Cruiser design, if it was not for that I would have certainly bought some boring Japanese car. What a shame that would have been. I think Chrysler have created an iconic American car with the Cruiser and I hope they do not just discard it for some bland boring car like the Journey. Don’t Cease Production Of The Cruiser!

Weight is the big thing IMHO - cuts back on the acceleration and hurts mileage. Ideally they'd bring out a new PT based on the Caliber but with more low-end torque, or maybe even a light turbo - anything to make up for the World Engine's deficiencies.

In a time of high gasoline prices no one has mentioned maybe a hybrid?? Factory built in navigation would be nice. I agree, keep the retro-style, shave off some weight, work on the turning radius.
