AWD Not in Plans for PT Cruiser

Chrysler Group puts the brakes on rumors it plans to develop an all-wheel-drive version of its Chrysler PT Cruiser. Chrysler says it hasn't seen any indication adding AWD is a top priority for potential PT customers.

Chrysler toyed with the idea of AWD in the PT via its PT Big Sky concept, which debuted at the 2002 Specialty Equipment Market Assn. show in Las Vegas in 2002. The auto maker said reaction to the concept would determine whether AWD would make it into production.
