Details of upcoming PT platform
Quote:
Chrysler is slowly letting out further details of the upcoming platform
that will be the basis of the next PT Cruiser.
Of note, and possibly hinting at features that might be part of the next PT Cruiser are a Continually Variable Transmission (CVT) and all-wheel drive. A CVT, for those not familiar with the technology, is a transmission that shifts through a near infinite number of gear ratios rather than a fixed number of ratios. This should improve both fuel economy as well as performance - though the feel is somewhat odd to people who expect discrete shift points.
