I couldn't believe it. It's like they're afraid to have a success. PT Cruiser lasted a pretty long time before rebates - so did the LH series and the Neon.

Supposedly it was selling at triple the rate they expected. Why a rebate? Why not just cut the price if they needed to? Who's thinking over there? Yes, I cannot BELIEVE they rebated the thing.

You're right about it not even closely resembling a Sebring or Avenger on the inside. The dash and door panel materials have a much softer feel about them even in the Base model that I have. The weight of the vehicle does make the 4 cylinder seem to labor even harder than in other vehicles. I have a lot of hills where I live which makes it even worse. I love the way it rides. Not too soft but not as harsh as probably the more sporty editions are. My first tank full of fuel returned 22.5 MPG with one highway trip of about 70 miles in there. Hopefully it will do well even though a lot of people are already bad mouthing it since it now has a rebate on it. I picked up a 4 cylinder model for a company car about two weeks ago.
