As a former owner of a Limited 02 PT and current owner of a 05 SRT6- I am sorta torn by the decisions made by Chrysler.
As great as the PT was in the beginning I soon found out why it was such a "Unique" car- I often referred to it as a Neon with a different shirt on and had the tranny go out at only 30,000. The PT was classified as a light truck- to boost Chrysler's over EPA rating on their light truck series. (Why didn't that raise some flags)
Needless to say I was glad to see her go----
Then 3 years later, we purchased the SRT6- which is now the second love of my life!
As great as it is - and unfortunate that they have stopped production- I see this as a great investment-
who knows, in 20 years or so, we just might have a jewel on our hands- that is if we're not all driving cars that run on snozberries and cooties. There, that is my $0.02!
