Introduction
Ferom original HJ Road Test.
For the rest of 2001 at least, shrinking violets need not apply. Because this is one car to be seen in and, believe me, everyone will be looking at you. There simply isn't any other production car like it anywhere except the car that spawned it, the Plymouth Prowler.
If you're into the look of a classic customized 1940s 'sedan delivery' with styling a bit like a Ford Prefect on steroids, then this is the car for you. It doesn't grumble and growl like a hot rod, though, because there's no big-displacement V8 under the bonnet. Instead you get the same 140bhp two-litre twin-cam four as the Chrysler Neon, driving the front wheels through a tight-shifting five-speed manual or four-speed automatic box. Soon Chrysler hopes to offer Mercedes Benz's excellent 143bhp 2.2-litre CDI diesel engine which will hugely improve on the 28 mpg overall I got.
