Well, it seems like the final results of the Motorweek poll are posted, even after they said it was going to be cancelled. Like what gives man?!?!?

Here's the link: http://www.mpt.org/cgi-bin/vote.cgi?...me&action=view

At least the Z06 got a bronze medal. :D

Looks like the totally fab PT Cruiser with its throngs of fans worldwide put this little beauty into the history books one more time. :cool:

Here is the link that ties this post in to the PT forum,
http://ptenthusiasts.org/PTForums/sh...&threadid=9073

They think they really pulled one over on us! :nono:
But hey, we are the ones behind the wheel of a real car, a Corvette Z06 :chevy
I think they have a cute car and it should get all the cute awards. But when it comes to HP and performance....step back, CORVETTE coming thru! :cheers:

 

Hey Torch! Glad you're having fun with it too. :yesnod:

 

:lol: :lol: :smash: :nono: Cute..

 

I'm glad Chrysler came out with the PT Cruiser. I'd seen enough boringness in the industry, and it was a welcomed treat.

For what it is, it's cute. Like the VW bug. Or the Miata when it came out.

But, my driving habits require a monster car. I want to be able to mash the throttle at 80MPH and see it climb to 172MPH. I want to take left turns so hard that my passenger goes flying out the window. I want to hammer the breaks and the car stops so hard I can't breathe from the seatbelt locking up.

That, my friends, is a real car. And, the Z06 is simply amazing.

50 years from now, some guy will be restoring a Z06... the PT's will be rotting away in mass in junkyards around the USA.

:seeya

I agree wtih you guys. I like the PT Cruiser. Has alot of cosmetic mod potential.
That poll is like comparing fruit to vegetables. These two vehicles aren't even in the same ball park to be compared to one another.
:cheers: to the PT gang. I guess the only way to win for them is by stuffing the ballot box. But hey, if that's the only way you can win against a vette, so be it. A win is a win :chevy
It's all in fun anyway, and hey, we're all car guys/gals when it comes right down to it :cheers:

Ballot Stuffer,
Enjoy your victory. It must be a thrill to drive around in a stylized minivan. Does the smell of baby sh|t and spilled ice cream come standard in that thing, or is it an option? :jester

Nice list of awards. We'll see if they are still making them 50 years later. That is the true test of a great car.

Trim that sig pic, man. Nice car, but the pic is a monster. :chevy

 

Funny...when I go to the MotorWeek site, this id what I find:

Regardless of how many awards the multitudes have given it, the PT Loser is still a slow, ugly behind POS.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

 

Funny, the PT Cruiser isn't even recognized :p: This should be posted over on their BB.
