The Plymouth Pronto twins.

Cruizer.

Spyder.

I'd rock the Spyder. It had a 225hp 2.4L turbocharged 4-banger in the middle, a 5 speed manual, and RWD.

THIS CAR WOULD HAVE SAVED PLYMOUTH!!

Or it would have sold very poorly, bankrupting Chrysler, and they wouldn't be around now to make the Hellcat.

So it can get recalled.

PT bruiser was cool too. I think Hennessey dropped a Viper V10 into it.

I kind of like the Mango Airlines gaudiness of the Cruizer.

Chrysler had planned on switching the entire Plymouth brand over to a retro '30s/'40s look to better separate it from Dodge, the PT Cruiser and the Prowler are the only two fruits of that endeavor to reach the market. The PT never made much sense as a Chrysler, but it was too far along at the time the decision was made to kill Plymouth and had to go somewhere.

90s concepts are by far the best and easiest to identify. once 2000 rolled around everything was all about unnecessary tech, lights and sharp angles.

Hell now it's all LEDs everywhere, massive grilles and flying buttresses! (None of which I have a problem with)

Nah... the PT was a big hit for the first 5 years... and would have been a hit regardless of whether or not it had the Plymouth badge. It started to go downhill when they did the "cheapen-it-up" redesign for 2006.

Don't forget the Plymouth Pronto concept, from 1997 I think.

How can I not find a better pic?
