With the PT Platform dead-ending at the end of the 2005 model year, the aftermarket may decide to wait for stabilization.

2005 will be the last year for the PT?

From what I have been reading, the 2006 model year will introduce a Mitsubishi Platform-Based PT Cruiser with a modified body style. I will look around for a link...
Here is a link, with a quote from that link:

Um, the Neon and PT aren't the same platform. The Neon gets a new Mitsubishi platform, but PT is gonna be around for a long time to come.
Also, CARB certification (as opposed to exemption) is in the neighborhood of $150k. There isn't much profit in a $400 upgrade to be able to do that from the get-go.
