So, how many clowns can you fit in that thing? — George

Add running boards and it looks like the cars used in Eliot Ness versus Al Capone — except that the height requirement for G-men would have been, say, 4 foot 6. — Eric

It's disheartening when I see one with flames that are only PAINTED on. — Marc 8o

Looks like it belongs in a cartoon. What does the "PT" stand for, Puddy Tat? — Dan

Appeals only to middle-aged women who like to paint flames on the sides. What is going on with that? — Josh

My boss drives one and he thinks he's "cool." He isn't. — Amy

Looks like something The Joker would be driving in a Batman movie." — Kim

Hey, everybody has their own axe to grind! I'll take it as jealous critisism[8D][8)]

So subjective. I think its one of those cars you either love it or hate it. I still love mine, and get lots of comments on how nice it is. No clowns. here.[8D][^][^]

Each to his own but I could sure come up with uglier cars then they did for the most part. I still love my PT!

They're implying they'd rather see PTs in flames - burning.

I think the new Audi/VW grill face is ugly, and the Butts of new BMW 5 & 7 series are a match for the stupid IDrive. Is the Honda Insight (electric) still made? That's ugly.

Opinions shared by many aren't always right - Nixon and Bush were both elected and re-elected[:0]

Funny if you look at that list which car is the most popular in terms of sales?? IE PT Cruiser with over 500K sold, didnt PT sell over 150K the first year and has been around 100K per year since.

I would say Aztek, scion, elment, Baja have been sales disasters. Just niche players which will never sell more than 50K units in a year no matter what spin they put on them.
Avalanche is an odd concept, but the Magnum, 300 and BMW are just on their because someone is jealous.

We must be really in style... My wife loves her Aztek! [:I], calls it her "Bunny Butt". My Plum convertible has drawn more favorable comments than any other car I've owned.

I choose to believe that the reason the PT made it is due to the fact that the average person can't identify most cars, but they know a PT when they see it. I think the entire class of SUVs aren't pretty by any stretch of the imagination, but they are useful. Same goes for the generic 4-door FWD sedan. BORING! Where I live, the vast majority of vehicles are non-descriptive shapes and colors. Do they think the Gray Accord/White Camry/Black Explorer/Tan Blazer in the driveway is pretty? [:I] If that's what they want, fine. Just don't ask them for opinions on style and color!
