It's not as big news as a new Mustang photo, but hey, it's a "future vehicle".

:eek:

When I heard they were making a drop-top version of the PT... I just could not visualize a 'smooth' way to do it... I just couldn't picture a decent looking roof line.

From that pic... I think I was right. :yuck:

Anyone notice that's a two-door?

The way the rear just abruptly ends and the top begins....it will make it look like a bathtub with the top down. :think:

That's sure awkward looking. Similar to the Golf convertible, it's tough to make a decent looking fanny.

Its still a PT Cruiser. :p Maybe the turbo version will be better, but a friend of mine rented one while we were in Maui and I got a chance to drive it....

... I likened the experience to driving a Jeep mail truck or a golf cart. Yeah the interior looks cool, but its small and cramped and the performance is borderline rediculous. I think I'd rather drive a Neon. ;)

I rented one when I went to my family reunion last year. It's just a small minivan, that's all. I didn't think it was cramped, and for the purpose it supposed to serve (a minivan that doesn't look like one) it does it OK.

Just avoid reading too much into the PT Cruiser, and it comes off pretty well.

It looks very odd, just like anything from DC.
