Can anybody please tell me what the "PT" in PT Cruiser stands for???? It's been haunting me forever.



While you're at it you can tell me why anybody would drive it too

    But what exactly does "PT" stand for? Easy: Personal Transport.

    So true. My mom has one (personalized with PTMOMMA license plates) The turning radius just plain sucks. Her's is maxed out with all the bells and whistles though, but I still can't stand to drive the damn thing.

    I read that they're under powered too. I think they fixed it with the up coming model.

    They were never able to integrate the bumper so it looks halfway decent. Thus, I shall pass on it for the forseeable future.

    It's got price. Unless you count the thousands of dollars they rebate the 300M every year to sell them.

    I didn't drive the GT- but I got a PT as a rental upgrade. It was frightening how underpowered it was- trying to get onto the 101 in Santa Barbara was not fun.

    The whole point of the PT Cruiser was to provide a cheap, shitty car that made vain poor people feel like they were driving a nice car. It was a really good idea on Chrysler's part, but there are much better ways to spend the same amount of money and actually get a really good car. If you have good taste, that is.

    Ouch, burn. But the PT still doesn't have really fake wood or 18" Special rims.

    Well, anyway, a PT GT will go faster than many other cars out there.



    Plus, there are plenty of mods to get it towards 300 hp or more maybe by now.

    A Mopar forum? Where's one where they talk about cool cars?



    Okay-- mildly kidding.



    Q: How do you pronounce "DaimlerChrysler"?



    A: "Daimler". The Chrysler is silent.
