DaimlerChrysler has had trouble keeping up with the demand for the car that the company describes as 'too cool to categorize'. Recognizing the P T s retro street-rod appeal, Chrysler offers a 'flame' decor package as an option this year. These vinyl appliques are posi tioned along the hood and front fenders and are available in a variety of colours. Additional standard features now come with each PT Cruiser, including a passenger-side arm rest, a storage bin under the passenger seat and a CD player accompanying the AM/FM radio. The PT (for Personal Transportation) Cruiser is driven by a 2.4-litre DOHC four-cylinder powerplant that's also in use in the Chrysler Sebring and Dodge Stratus sedans. Developing 150 horsepower, the engine is con nected to either a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission. Along with one of the most unique, yet practical body shapes since the introduction of the original Chrysler minivan. the PT boasts a significant amount of standard content. The base model comes with air conditioning, power windows, tilt steering and a split rear seat that can be folded flat for extra storage. The Touring Edition adds power door locks, remote keyless entry, 16-inch chrome alloys plus numer ous other features. At the top of the heap is the Limited, with leather seats, chrome wheels, moonroof and side airbags. PERFORMANCE ALERT! Chrysler is current ly testing a turbocharged PT Cruiser, slated for introduction either later this year or next year as a 2003 model.
