most Hotrod fans would agree if they had some performance
they have build quality issues - their powertrain isnt special & their handeling is only bearly average
they have excellent cabin space
^ thats their only good point tbh

spare me
the only thing in their favour compared to other people movers is that they have decent interior space
in every other regard they are bearly average

He's right! Just this morning I was thinking of starting a 'Cars That Make You Look Like a Colossal Gaylord' collection. It seems my time has come.

Every Carmaker has that one model that was an Epic Fail. This (in my opinion) was Chryslers most epic.
I was very excited for this car when they were doing the whole concept and sneaky press releases. What they eventually released was a pile of pooh. It is more girly than a Mazda MX5 in pink with eyelashes. Such a shame.
Anyone remember the pictures of the new Holden Torrie they proposed! Can't wait for it, but then again could end up to be Holdens Epic Fail.

Chrysler engineers were working according to Mercedes Benz theory - meaning the project wasnt finished when the takeover occured & the PT they released didnt reflect exactly what Chrysler wanted to do

Well at least they did a reasonable job of the 300 and the Crossfire

another person might say the 300C is the most ugly sedan of the modern era

Don't be so sure they can't be rodded. Mate has one with a Toyota V8, turbo and manual box and its downright outrageous. Lots of work gone into it to get it right

Not many if any say they are cool.The main problem is its a pt cruiser and they are pure shit.

we hired one in the states for 3 days . biggest piece of yank cr*p I have ever driven, heavy gutless (2 litre I think ) uneconmical cost us heaps to run around town. even most americans dont like them ( maybe they would if they came with a V8)

About 700 hours labour involved in the timing belt. A slight exaggeration.but it really is a prick of a job.

Had a review in a car magazine (can remember which one) and described as the most dangerous car, Forget the cool look and buy something else more practical .

looks can be deceiving, like when you get the bird you picked up at the pub home and take off her push up bra.

They really are a marmite car aren't they, you either love 'em or hate 'em!
I think they had a cool idea in making a retro looking car, but the problem is that they completely cocked it up! lol
