GTFO
Hard to believe but it's true. It was based off of the Neon platform but I think it had something to do with the way the back seats were removable, so it was considered a mini-sports-ute. I swiped this from the Wiki: http://en.wikipedia....sler_PT_Cruiser
"The PT Cruiser is a front-wheel drive 5-passenger vehicle, classified as a truck in the U.S. by the NHTSA for CAFEfuel economy calculations but as a car by most other metrics. Chrysler specifically designed the PT Cruiser to fit the NHTSA criteria for a light truck in order to bring the average fuel efficiency of the company's light truck fleet into compliance with CAFE standards."
It's a little like "The Crying Game". I can mentally envision Forest Whitaker hosting "Let's Make a Deal" and laughing at light truck enthusiasts trading for the truck behind curtain #3.
