It is considered as one of the original stylish retro cars. Forgive us for the pun but it will be in reality a retro after summer since Chrysler will discontinue the production of the PT Cruiser.

Executives from Chrysler confirmed the decision during an interview earlier this January.

The great style of the PT Cruiser has earned its respects from enthusiasts. It was even compared to the 1930’s gangster cars when it was launched last 2000. It was an instant hit and the car manufacturer has produced around 14 versions for the brand.

The PT Cruiser had variations like the Woodie, Turbo, and Woodward Dream Cruise variations.

The unchanged style of the car for almost a decade led to decline of sales. In 2008, PT Cruiser had a dismal performance in the market having a sales drop of 51%. The percentile translates to only 50910 units of PT Cruiser sold last year. The assembly line for this classic is in Toluca, Mexico.

With the dwindling performance, rumors have spread within the auto industry that Chrysler is axing the PT Cruiser. The recent declaration of the company confirms all the buzzes.

Chryler PT Cruiser was known for its sporty ride and smooth handling. Compared to other cars from other brands, its performance was far more satisfying to car experts.

The car manufacturer announced that it is willing to sell the assets for the production of the Cruiser PT. So far, the company has no offers.

The line of Viper is also in the market amid cost cutting schemes of the company to cut costs and survive in the harsh market environment.
