Royal Oak, Mich., Aug 15, 2006
Chrysler kicks off the annual Woodward Dream Cruise today, making a huge splash with the introduction of the new 2007 Chrysler PT Street Cruiser Pacific Coast Highway Edition - a special-edition PT Cruiser dedicated to one of the most picturesque driving routes in the United States, the Pacific Coast Highway. Announced in conjunction with Detroit's famed Woodward Dream Cruise, the Pacific Coast Highway Edition will be available later this summer as a limited-production version of the 2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser.


"This Chrysler PT Cruiser Street Cruiser Pacific Coast Highway Edition celebrates another great American road, a tradition we started with our PT Dream Cruiser series and continued with last year's Route 66 Edition," said David Rooney, Director - Chrysler Marketing and Global Communications. "The Chrysler PT Cruiser is the perfect vehicle for factory customization because it celebrates the journey, as well as the destination. With more than 1 million PT Cruisers sold since its introduction, hundreds of thousands of PT enthusiasts are enjoying the journey with us."


The 2007 Chrysler PT Pacific Coast Highway Edition is powered by a fuel-efficient 2.4-liter naturally aspirated engine that produces 150 horsepower (112 kW) and 165 lb.-ft. (220 Nm) of torque coupled with either a five-speed manual transaxle or a four-speed automatic. With the five-speed manual, this engine achieves 29 mpg on the highway, which is perfect for long cruises down the Pacific coast.


The U.S. Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) for the 2007 Chrysler PT Street Cruiser Pacific Coast Highway Edition will be $20,735 for the manual transaxle version and $21,570 for the automatic transaxle model. Both prices include a $640 destination charge.


"The Chrysler PT Cruiser gives the car buffs here at the Chrysler Group the opportunity to factory customize a classic," said Larry Lyons, Vice President - Front-wheel-drive Product Team. "In fact, the Pacific Coast Highway Edition is our 12th version of the segment-busting Chrysler PT Cruiser since it was first introduced in 2000."

Brightwork accents include a chrome grille, door handles and body-side molding, as well as a bright exhaust tip. A unique "Street Cruiser" badge, complete with unique Ocean Blue accents, is featured on the rear liftgate and complemented by "Pacific Coast Highway" Edition badges. The rear liftgate also features an Ocean Blue spoiler.

The 2007 Chrysler PT Cruiser Street Cruiser Pacific Coast Highway Edition's interior also is a breath of fresh air, featuring a two-tone interior of Slate Gray and Pastel Slate Gray.

A bright Chrysler winged logo accents the front door scuff pads. Standard SIRIUS Satellite Radio keeps the driver connected, even if the road takes them out of commercial radio range.

I had me a big, ol' bowl of Grumpy Flakes this morning, so pardon the tone of my post.

I've been looking at this "Sticky" for 7 years and been wondering why some paint and a badge even deserve a Sticky??? If that's what it takes to rate a Sticky, then every Cruiser ever posted here deserves a Sticky, too, 'cause they all put this one to shame and are also more "special".

I don't mean to rock the boat* but maybe it's time to archive this Sticky and stop insulting all the fine rides around here. Raise your hand if you agree.





*Yes I do!

Grumpy Flakes AND with buttermilk!

Sheesh! Skylight was an absentee administrator and threw things out there to seem involved and interested.

You dug back 6 years to gripe on this???

Okay, I agree with you, but who cares?

Actually it's been 7 years.......
and if it had truly been buried I wouldn't have dug it up. It's been sitting at the top of this page in flashing neon and waving a flag every day since it was posted.
