Imagine, take the very successful and popular PT Cruiser design, enlarge it to Minivan proportions, and Chrysler will have a new winner in the Minivan category!

Currently the minivan category is full of uninspired, stylized shoe boxes; therefore, re-energize the minivan category by creating a "Big Brother" to the PT Cruiser and call it the "PT Bruiser"!

My wife currently drives a 2001 PT Cruiser Limited Edition, and I drive a 1995 Town & Country AWD. I would like to buy a new minivan-yet, the minivans on the market lack pizzazz and style when compared to the PT Cruiser!

Therefore, please create a PT Bruiser with the pizzazz and style of the PT Cruiser, and not only will it create tremendous demand within the minivan market, it will allow my wife and I to have a matched set: a PT Cruiser for my wife, and a PT Bruiser for me. How sweet that would be!

A PT Bruiser should be relatively easy to fabricate by taking the existing computerized design data from the PT Cruiser and massaging it appropriately to create new design data for a PT Bruiser minivan.

Further, a PT Bruiser design would inherit low market risk due to, and from, the great success of the PT Cruiser's design and previous marketing. In other words, the PT Bruiser would begin "riding the wave" where the PT Cruiser left off.

Please pass this e-mail, or "PT Bruiser" minivan idea, straight to the top (or at least to as many decision making executives as possible), so that it may become a reality and available as soon as possible.

If you would like further advice or help making a PT Bruiser, please don't hesitate to contact me, as I have owned three Chrysler minivans, am bristling with ideas, and quite selfishly, want to drive a Chrysler PT Bruiser ASAP. Also, my beautiful wife and 8 year old daughter, and I would make a fantastic family for PT Bruiser advertising.

Thank you very much,

1-22-2004

PS: Due to its popularity, we had to get on Dealer waiting lists in order to buy our 2001 PT Cruiser, so when Chrysler makes the highly desirable PT Bruiser, would you please, as thanks for my brilliant PT Bruiser idea, arrange for me to have priority to buy one without having to wait on lists?

PPS: Admit it, you know that you would love to own and drive a PT Bruiser.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and many have chosen to behold the PT Cruiser.

If PT style don't tickle your fancy, then what would your design for a minivan be?

I never knew the PT Cruiser was considered a 'great success' by any standard. It's a niche vehicle that doesnt sell very well.

If I were in charge, there wouldn't be a minivan either. ;)

You are pretty much talking about a entry level / small sized SUV called a bruiser. Think of the RAV4 or Escape or Pilot...

Which I guess would work for Dodge since the Dakota is pretty large for an entry level SUV. But the name sucks.

They already have something close....the Chrysler Pacifica. And it isn't selling to well at all.

Chrysler already has one. It's the Pacifica. Perhaps the name is too floral for you. Maybe Chrysler should change the name to Warlord or something to the effect to pique buyers like you.

"And I want a car with really crappy gas mileage..."
"You mean something like the 6000 SUX?"

The Pacifica is too small, and looks like a shoe box modeled after a dung beatle's high butt.

If Chrysler would have consulted me, I would have advised against the Pacifica.

I don't want a mini-minivan!

I want to take a PT Cruiser and enlarge or stretch it into a full sized 7 passenger minivan, as big or bigger than the Chrysler Town & Country 7 passenger minivan.

I'd change the two rear hinged doors on the PT Cruiser into two sliding doors as in the Town & Country.

Otherwise, I'd change very little from the PT Cruiser design--keep the same hood and fender design from the PT Cruiser.

I did not know about the after market makeover called the PT Bruizer

thus, I may have to think up a different name...

Ornery:

Exactly.

Take that beauty, (from which the PT Cruiser was derived) modernize the interior, add two mid sliding doors, and you're damn close to it!

I like the current PT Turbos, I think they look wicked, and they have plenty of power, too.
