I read that the PT Cruiser was cancelled because some bigwig in the company did not like it. With stupid business decisions like that, it is no wonder the company is failing.

I have been looking at cars the last few days. The Chevy dealer has lots of different models, as does the Ford dealer. But Chrysler has just two models. When I saw that, my first thought was that Chrysler is on its way out. I think I’ll just have my PT Cruiser repainted and keep it a while longer.

The PT Cruiser was canceled because of poor sales and the replacement Dodge Caliber was ready. The PT Cruiser is actually not very good in non-turbo form; they’re junkyard filler as they will require some really big expensive repairs when they get older. I would suggest dumping yours.

Here's more evidence. The PT Cruiser was to be a 60,000 unit sales/year car to break even. When sales dropped to 50K and then to 19K a year, Chrysler tried to do what they could to resurrect sales but eventually they gave up. In truth the PT Cruiser was the best of the 'retromobile' styled cars from Detroit in terms of sales and it didn't sell that well. The rest of them were sales flops. The Prowler, the HHR, the SSR, the retro Thunderbird - figuratively nobody bought them and they were all sales flops.
