Jeez, it's about time. I'm surprised it lasted this long.

This should have happened 3 or 4 years ago, and they should have found a better looking replacement because basically, this car is not a bad idea, only the design is clumsy. And the build quality, and the reliability, and the average consumption... Come to think of it, thank God they finally did that.

It already seems like this car was a thing of the past. I didn't realize they were even still making these.

Of coarse everyone hates it now; its been around for almost ten years! The vehicle wasn't that bad actually (to have Neon DNA), it just stayed around a little too long. To be honest, I thought this happened a year or two ago. Good riddance!

The PT was a well made vehicle made to appeal to those in the 25k-35k range of yearly salary. So now I guess we are stuck with the Dodge Neon, which is a much larger piece of crap then you all think of the PT as. Sadly based on the same platform, the PT had the advantage of a niche market. The Neon's niche is highschool kids who want to race cars.

Something else funny, Chrysler parent coporation of Dodge, is trying to sell it's Dodge Viper line of sports-car, as noted on bloomberg.com. Why? Because 90% of the American population CAN'T afford the Viper, when nearly 90% of all American populations CAN afford a PT Cruiser?
