Default PT Cruiser vs Morris Minor
Amongst other things, I'm a Morris Minor enthusiast too, and over the last month of PT ownership I've noticed a few similarities between the two vehicles.

Take a look at my website for a comparison.
Minor Mania!
Look for the Cruiser grill thumbnail and the link to 'The New Morris Minor?'

Very cool. It's a minor miracle!

Hi Nostromo,

There's tons of pics and info on Minor Mania for all the Minor variants, so get your friend to take a look and get back to me with any specific questions. I'm happy to help if I can.

I just realised that the shape of the air-bag on the passenger side of the PT is almost the same shape as the glovebox door on the Minor! Spooky! I'll post pics when I find some on my laptop at home

Very interesting review! I suspect the minor was in someone's mind as they designed this car!

Our PT shares garage space with a 1959 Morris Minor panel hot rod project. It sits on an Isuzu P'up frame and has Buick 3.8L V-6 engine. Might never get finished though! Too busy playing with other "toys"! The resemblance of some of the styling cues is uncanny! I have also written a few articles on US Morris Minors for Minor Monthly magazine (UK). See Morris Minor photos on our personal website at:

Yep, there are some definite similarities. I saw a band called Black 47 and they sang and song and mentioned the Morris Minor. Great band, by the way!
