Chrysler kills PT Cruiser

I hate this car, but I really don't understand why they are killing it. 51K units a year is still really good these days, and the tooling etc should all

Again, it's like, a 9 year old design now. How long did they expect to live off that? I know I said it before, but damn, maybe try an update before killing it. Not like they got much to lose at this point.

Exactly, I know a lot of car companies would be thrilled to sell 50K units of a new model!

That said, 50+ year old Avon sales women and hairdressers must be very upset.
