Is the PT Cruiser a wagon?

OK, I'm taking votes... Is the PT Cruiser a wagon or is it not?

 

Man, what a question!!
Hmmm, I believe technically it is a wagon. But then, there's SUV's with long roofs, 4-doors and a tailgate.

 

What the heck does PT mean anyway? The only one I recall was JFK's PT 109 boat. I think its a mini SUV, not a wagon. You've got to pull the seats out to load anything substantial. You don't in a wagon.

 

I think it means personal touring.

Here's my take on the matter. A PT, HHR, Matrix etc. are all wagons. They are car based.

 

Yeah, GT would be a stretch.

I think Mopar missed a good opportunity to integrate the retro look in more models. The PT and the 300s were a good start, but they dropped the ball.

 

Exactly. The PT is built on top of a Neon, which is a car. If you have ever driven one you would for sure know that it is not an SUV. They don't handle the dirt roads very well.

 

The PT stands for Part Time.

 

I believe it is actually called a 'wagon' by DMV's....

Had one for a company vehicle back in 2002 - 2003. I liked it. Did everything a small wagon would in the 'way back' Had a very usable parcel shelf that you could put in two positions, and it also slid out. I used it for a 'desk' sometimes when doing my inspections. Had a power inverter to run my computer and printer, a little fold-up stool, and a roof over my head (the hatch).

 

Here's what Wiki says...

Thoughts?

 

PT stands for "Personal Transportation" according to Chrysler...

Of the ones currently listed on ebay, this is how they were catagorized:

Convertible (15)
Hatchback (10)

Minivan, Van (3)

Sedan (22)

SUV (10)

Wagon (23)

Not Specified (12)

 

I voted yes. I think it's more a wagon than an suv; you can't even get all wheel drive on them, right?

 

I voted no.
It's more like a Subaru on steroids.

 

So, excluding the convertibles, that means that it's listed as a 'wagon' 23 times out of 80 total. I guess people are having a hard time categorizing it....

 

This is what I found...

the pt seems to be listed as a light truck in the U.S. But they seem to have a 5dr wagon listed...

Would seem they are just as confused as the rest of us. I always thought of the PT as a panel van. But when I looked it up, check out what I found...

So does this answer the question:confused:

 

Sorry if this has already been posted, but according to the US government, its a truck.
Sooo, is an SUV a wagon?
