2001 Chrysler PT Cruiser Chrysler PT Cruiser 2001 Chrysler PT Cruiser Minivan Wagon FWD Toluca, Mexico Classic styling and modern utility were the guiding forces behind Chrysler's all-new PT Cruiser. Based loosely on the Neon platform, this small van offers a flexible interior, head-turning looks and, sadly, only 150 horsepower. But feature content is high and a more powerful engine is already in the works for 2002. Unique styling, low purchase price, stable ride, roomy and flexible interior. Only 150 horsepower, some cheap interior bits, initial demand exceeds supply. Chrysler has done it again. In 1984 they gave birth to the minivan and forever changed the face of family transportation. Then in 1993 they brought us the Jeep Grand Cherokee, an attractive combination of luxury appointments and off-road prowess that helped establish the current popularity of SUVs (that's right, it's partially Chrysler's fault). Now comes their latest segment-buster: the PT Cruiser. Based on the Neon platform, Chrysler expects the PT Cruiser to serve as the ideal "city car" with its combination of compact exterior dimensions and spacious interior layout. Although shorter than a Neon in overall length, the Cruiser sports 120.2 cubic feet of interior space. Chrysler took a page from the New Beetle/Focus/Echo design school when creating the PT's tall shape. The result is an interior package that bests the Neon by 18 cubic feet and supplies both front and rear seat passengers with plenty of head and legroom.
