What happens when you have to redesign retro? We asked the question earlier this year, and one expert said retro redesigns should maintain some retro styling cues while offering a fresh design for buyers. To some extent, Chrysler's 2006 PT Cruiser attempted to do that – but it was a mid-cycle update, and now it's high time for a redesign. As Chrysler considers its options for the next PT Cruiser, Automotive News reports the automaker may build the next car in conjunction with a small crossover car from Dodge.
It's not clear whether the next PT Cruiser will share components with the Dodge Caliber – or even retain the name PT Cruiser. One analyst expects the replacement car to be quite different, dropping much of the current car's retro flair, Automotive News reports.
The PT Cruiser is a strong seller, perhaps the reason Chrysler has delayed a redesign for so long. Leave a note below on what you'd like to see in the next PT – including a new name.
