They sit there, white elephants of another age, mocking themselves under the bright lights of otherwise empty dealer lots. The Chrysler PT Cruiser – no one wants it anymore, no one cares.

But it’s still a good buy.
So maybe Chrysler sold too many, too quickly. Or maybe folks just got tired of the style. Either way, few people are interested in the PT’s retro-coolie look anymore. Considering the functionality and fuel economy of this vehicle, it’s a better-than-average car for someone searching out inexpensive – but cool – transportation. But then who would want the old when the new is, well, so much the same? Actually, probably quite a few people, considering that, based on price, style and horsepower, the Chrysler PT looks to be a better buy than the 2006 Chevy HHR. Especially with a $750 rebate, this puts the sticker price of a base PT at almost $2,000 less than a similar Chevy HHR model.
