Chrysler decided in July 2009 to keep the front-wheel-drive PT Cruiser after an earlier decision to cease production.
Chrysler has reduced the lineup to only the PT Cruiser Classic and eliminated the turbocharged four-cylinder and five-speed manual transmission. A 150-horsepower, 2.4-liter four-cylinder with a 4-speed automatic is now the only choice. Standard equipment now includes four-wheel disc brakes, cruise control, an Electronic Vehicle Information Center and other items that were previously optional. The only options are a moonroof and a Convenience Group that includes heated front seats, a power driver's seat and a fold-flat front passenger seat with stain-repellent fabric.
The PT Cruiser vaguely resembles a panel truck of the 1930s, overlaid with street-rod styling from the 1950s. Bulging fenders, fender-mounted headlights and taillights, and a tall, wide egg-crate grille give the PT Cruiser its unique look.
