at least, that's what people told me in here :P

Every PT has a "lower grill". The A/C condensor requires cooling as does the rad. The lower grill (fascia) has more, and wider openings on the Turbos.

Joe- any POUTINE buttons??

This has been beaten to death in the ptcruiserlinks forums, so let me try to straighten it out here.
The 180 has the SAME ENGINE and TRANSMISSION as the GT (as well as the same lower front fascia). The software determines the HP and allows this version to run on regular gas. The 'autostick' is the same automatic(41TE, I think) with additional software and a different shifter. The reason you can't get a 5 speed is that you need the stronger Getrag tranny for the extra horses, and Chrysler didn't think it would be worth the extra money.
