PT Cruiser

Introduced: 2000
Design: Bryan Nesbitt

The Cruiser was meant to look retro, but some styles shouldn't be recycled. The body's oversized face and grille are flashy. The front wheel housing is inexplicably long, extending back into the front door. The flared logo on the hood attempts to convey regality, but the Cruiser just can't back it up.
