Default PT Cruiser 2000-July 2010: Production Scheduled to End Next Month

http://wardsauto.com/ar/pt_july_build-out_100607/

It will end its decade long run next month. Some interesting facts:

1. Sales Peaked at 160,000 units in 2001
2. Sold 106,000 units in first year (2000)
3. 2008 was the first year sales ever dipped below 100,000 units
4. Over 1 million sold worldwide since 2000

This thing sold reliably with very few incentives for about 8 years, but the 2005 arrival of the Chevy HHR had an immediate impact on its sales.

Goodbye, you once trendy and sought after little freak.
