PT Cruiser gets new life. Chrysler has now officially announced that it will continue the PT Cruiser through 2010. Adding to its sales, which have been dismal in recent months, will be access to Fiat dealerships in Europe and South America, which are reportedly to be given rights to sell the PT very soon. Sources say there will be few, if any, changes from the 2009 model. Both standard and light-pressure turbo engines will continue.

Chrysler PT Cruiser information

The Chrysler PT Cruiser has good handling, fits in a small parking space, and holds full-sized adults and their luggage in comfort. With attractive pricing and high reported reliability, the PT is a great car for a great price. The reverse-Watts suspension packs a lot of cornering and ride quality into a small space — a space smaller than a Neon on the outside, with more cargo space than many mid-sized cars on the inside.

Remember the Chevy SSR? How about the 2009 Dodge Challenger?

The 2009 PT Cruiser had few changes from 2008. Badging changed, with the turbo moving to “2.4T.” Rear badges are PT Cruiser on the left, and Limited or Touring on the right. The Dream Cruiser Series 5 has a low price, two-tone paint, loads of chrome, and other features. Chrysler cut the number of option combinations to simplify manufacturing. The turbocharged engine (180 hp) is only available on the Limited, as an option; air conditioning is standard; and some options have been dropped. Since the restyling, which many believe cheapened the feel of the car, the option mix has changed so that most PTs sold now are the base model.

1,304,702 PT Cruisers were made between February 2000 and July 2008.
