What is A8 problem ??

Officially, the "PT" stands for "Personal Transportation," but the initials also designate the car's platform. The Neon was based on the Chrysler PL platform, or "Platform Low," while the Cruiser was based on the Chrysler PT platform, for "Platform Tall." "PT" was also the production code for the PT Cruiser. Unofficially, the name may stand for "Plymouth Truck", as it harks back to the 1930's line of Plymouth Trucks (known by the "PT" moniker).

One thing you also need to remember is that the Cruiser was originally being created as a Plymouth model.

What is the time taken by a car to come to rest, after applying the brakes...?


During the 90s, Dodge was known as the "performance" division, Chrysler was the luxury side and poor little Plymouth was the ugly stepchild. A plan was devised to move Plymouth in a different direction... since nearly all Plymouth dealers were attached to a Chrysler dealer, they couldn't move the Plymouth upscale... and as they wanted some different models to spice up the line-up and yet to NOT compete with the sister Dodge and Chrysler models, they started to develop some interesting new models...

When/How did Ford Motor Company start using dealerships?


The concept was to build up some showroom traffic to come on down and take a look. The first model introduced was the Plymouth Prowler. and it developed a lot of traffic... People would come in and look... if they liked it, and could afford it, they'd buy it... just as the Viper did for Dodge. people would come in and see it and then drive out in a Dodge Intrepid or Stratus that shared the look.

A miniature model of a 67 chevy impala..?


The 2nd vehicle to do that was to be the PT Cruiser. It was designed to generate that traffic increase.. but, unlike the Prowler, it was to be a viable car - something that anybody could get. Price wise, it was a step up from the Neon and the Breeze, but took the buyer into a new direction.

Why would financially strapped GM want to buy the ailing Chrysler Coporation? GM cannot take care of itself.?


But, just about that same time, Chrysler went through some changes and a merger and... well... the decision was made to shelve the Plymouth brand. So now the PT Cruiser needs to be blended into the Chrysler lineup - just as the Voyager became a Chrysler and then blended to become the base model Town & Country.
