it has been widely reported (including in a recent car and driver) that this car will be the basis for the next cruiser, due in 08. it was developed with Mitsu, and will debut this year as the caliber, then next year comes the new mitsu lancer, then the cruiser. think there are posts on this or other forums with the chrysler statement about it. the caliber is not an suv, but the replacement for the neon designed to compete with the matrix and civic (but i think like pt robert said it will also be the platform used for a smaller jeep?). i'd imagine the next gen PT will look different from the caliber, but will share at least some of the mechanical guts. sorta like the new chevy colbalt and hhr don't look alike, but share most of their mechanical parts....

Thanks for clearing that up. That makes more sence. The image of the PT Cruiser I saw for 2008 could of had this Caliber "guts" underneath it. The version I saw was more square shaped and had fake wood-like paneling on the sides. It wasn't wood color, but matched the color of the car. It had off road tires on it and DID look more like a Jeep. It was featured on a beach and had 2 surf boards on top. They were saying it was the next version of the PT. I didn't care for it because of all of the nice curves of the cruiser were gone!

Is this what you're talking about?




The California Cruiser is concept that DC put out a couple of years ago, nothing more.

Yes! That's what I saw. Except they had some surf boards on it. Are SURE they are not considering THIS BODY STYLE?!! I was told that this was the way the cruiser will look in 2008. With the Caliber guts and frame. I wouldn't dismiss this image so quickly. This looks like what it could be.

They've "floated" several concept PTs that have never been seen again. Who knows? [:I]
Guess we'll all have to wait and see!

two things. first, when this thread was started over a year ago, the spy pics refered to and this california concept(a great car by the way) were said to be the looks for the 2006 model refresh of the cruiser. if you squint and use some imagination, you can see some elements of the concept car in the new for 06 restyle. second, if there was any idea of what the new for 08 cruiser would look like, this forum would be lit up like a christmas tree with comments and pictures. i'd guess Chrylser does not even know yet. sure they will wait to show anything until the new for 06 cruiser has time to sell, and the caliber gets off to a good start. i'm still hoping they build a panel or even a coupe like this concept, sorta a special edition before the new model comes out.

We should see the Gen II PT at one of the 2007 Car Shows. Doubt they will show it during 2006.
