8. PT Cruiser Convertible
The PT Cruiser was never the hit that Chrysler hoped. After all, the car’s nickname was the ‘PT Loser.’ This was owing, in large part, to the fact that the car looked too big and boxy. It just wasn’t cool. The PT stands for ‘Personal Transport,’ which is itself a pretty bland name. Yet, the only thing haters of this vehicle loathe more than the original model of the PT Cruiser is the convertible version of the car. In a last ditch effort to give this car some sex appeal before discontinuing manufacturing of the PT Cruiser in 2010, Chrysler brought out a convertible model in 2005. And both critics and the public hated it. It basically looks like a PT Cruiser with the roof cut off of it. This is an example where design flaw overwhelmed all other aspects of a car. Not cool, Chrysler. Not cool.
