New 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser Convertible Unveiled Today with "Smart Glass"

The Chrysler Group unveiled the new 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser Convertible at the North American International Auto Show today. The new vehicle includes a solar- tinted "Smart" glass backlite with electric defroster.

"Our engineers wanted to make the PT Cruiser Convertible a convertible that you can actually do things with," said Larry Lyons, vice president-small vehicle product team engineering. "Nine different seat configurations and a pass-through trunk opening with enough room to store two golf bags make the car more versatile than its competitors."

The manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) for the 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser Convertible will begin at $19,995 (excluding $590 destination).
