2. Chrysler PT Cruiser
Even though most people regarded the PT Cruiser as a sub-standard model in terms of power and technology, it was an immensely successful sales model. Chrysler managed to sell 1.35 million PT Cruisers in just 10 years, making it one of the last big sales hits for Chrysler. The PT Cruiser’s appeal was its faux-retro design and affordable price.
Sadly, although it was reminiscent of custom cars from the past, drivers found nothing special under the hood. The PT Cruiser shared most of its mechanicals as well as its engine with the lethargic Chrysler/Plymouth Neon. While the PT Cruiser wasn’t particularly engaging to drive, it was an interesting and quirky little car.
