I was always told that it stands for Part Time Cruiser, i guess some type of ideal weekend car. If this is incorrect, would someone please kindly tell me so i don't go around giving incorrect info?
I hope not, I just sold my commuter car, a 2004 VW New Beetle convertible and plan to buy an HHR because I like them. The NB is absolutely a "chick" car, mine was originally my daughter's car and I ended up with it. As for the meaning of "PT" in PT cruiser, I had one as a company car, I believe it means Piece (of) Trash. At 68K miles the head went bad, then a bunch of other issues. Glad I never bought one!
