My brother in law is a bean counter for crysler corperate. I was asking him why they are discontinuing the line after 2009. He says "they ran their course". Man I don't get it, that was the most profitable/popular model they have had in years. It's thinking like that, lack of hearing what the consumer wants, that has put them on the ropes. You don't see any K cars these days, but I bet 50 years from now, PTs will still be driven and modded by kids. I'll keep mine cherry until then...when I'm 94.
