I ordered my 06 in Nov. of 2005. There were several left over 05's at the time I placed my order that I could of saved some money on. Personally I liked the front end of the o6 better, I like the dash and interior of the 06 much better and was told by the dealer that the 06's had a lot more insulation and were much quieter
Here is a picture of my 06 Cool Vanilla, Limited Edition I ordered with the chrome package. I have put no after market additions on it and I think it is pretty sharp.
I have seen several pictures of older PT Cruiser's on here and I think a lot of them are sharp also. They say Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
I think I got the picture this time.
