It might be ugly, but it makes money.

The basic model isn't that bad for a grocery getter. I drove one for two weeks when my SRT-4 was in the body shop. It has a TON of room inside compared to the SRT-4, but it goes as fast as a big heavy rock......

Dad had one for four years/100,000 miles...he had the turbo/5 speed...fast car...not very comfortable, though. I think, in general, they have front end problems, too...his did.

Traded it on a Subaru Forester...I like that one better.

Thumbs down

UGLY ! I knew I could say it.
The first one reminded me of customized a 37 Ford. This latest version is the worst one so far.

End the PT already. It's almost as bad as the HR.

It's a shame that this model has been so neglected beyond just tacky styling versions like this. They should have given this model a styling refresh, updated interior, along with the new engines, and the new 6-speed to make it more competitive.

We need to end way more models before the PT, if we are going to go by profit.
