I wasn't and I'm not. It's been an unsettling disgust of mine for over 10 years. By far one of the ugliest vehicles I've ever seen on the road.

I'm happy for those who got one and liked it. But, it never appealed to me.

1. Both were the darlings of SEMA; the Camaro last year, the PT Cruiser in 2000.

2. When the PT Cruiser went on sale in March 2000 as an early 2001 model, eager buyers flocked to dealerships to snap up the first copies — and they were willing to pay well above the sticker price.

3. The PT Cruiser was, and the new Camaro is, styling-wise, like nothing else on the road, and that made it a head turner.

4. Both the Camaro and the PT Cruiser have been noted as having excessive blind-spots.

Here are a few comments regarding the PT Cruiser from both the major magazines and the common person on the street:







Sounds eerily familiar to many of the things said about the Camaro, doesn't it?

I only say all of this because, back then, the PT Cruiser was the "cool" car to buy and I was in the market. Thankfully, I did not buy one, as I very quickly grew tired of the styling on the car and, after spending a lot of time with a co-worker who did buy one, found out it was not as much fun to drive/ride in as I thought it would be.

That is one of my fears in choosing my next car. I'm seriously considering a Camaro, but I'm afraid the styling might become "dated" before I am able to pay the car off.

The styling from the exterior looks great. Having driven one every day for a year now, the interior does take some getting used to as do the blind spots. However you do get used to them after awhile. I would definitely take a test drive in the new 2011 Mustang and the Challenger just so you get to feel driving them and examining the insides. My biggest problem with the Camaro has been the interior visibility all the way around. That is why I am trading mine in for a Mustang GT 2011 later on today. I didn't come by this decision lightly but I recommend before buying a Camaro do a comparison yourself of other vehicles and see which one you would prefer to drive in every day.

That honor goes to anyone who purchased a Pontiac Aztec..

lmao o ok, that changes things. not to be sexist, but i do think the pt cruiser is more of a feminine car. like the vw beatle and the mini cooper.

Now that the PT is gone, does that officially mean the Mustang is the one and only SRA car sold in the US?

oh, so that guy is saying that the mustang is the only production car in the U.S. with a solid rear axle?

This is good to hear. One less butt ugly car being built. I guess prius sales will go up now that the old folks won't have the PT cruiser to opt for.
