Chrysler always had great innovations in vehicle design. From the 1930's with the Airflow and Airstream cars to the 80's with the LeBaron Convertible to the 90's and the Prowler and now the PT Cruiser. I still have my 2002 and I would love to buy a brand new one since this is the last year for them, but it is difficult to find a 2011 Cruiser with a standard transmission. I prefer manual over automatic anytime. I love the height of my cruiser in that I don't have to sit so low to the road as I did with my old Saturn nor do I feel the need to get a ladder to climb into it. I love the tailgate table and the netting. I think a stereo that you could plug your mp3 player to would have been a great idea, but too late now.
