DCX was a company at war with itself, not knowing what it's culture was.<br /><br />The PT Cruiser was designed prior to the merge and the merged company didn't have a clue. Then it just got worse. The turbo helped, but a six was probably the ticket.<br /><br />Ann T:<br />I still think my Cruiser is neat looking, especially all shined up. (Note the shiny aluminum wheels in the photo...still shiny even after a rain.)<br /><br />Thanks for coming by and have a great weekend...stay cool out there!<br /><br />The ObserverThe Observerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17696168395133075354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4773175694027086382.post-65542309606303778002010-07-16T20:59:18.422-05:002010-07-16T20:59:18.422-05:00Dear The Observer,
