Hers is the Austrian build. Our RHD Chrysler 300s and Voyagers also came from the Austrian plant.
The PT is a very solid little car, and actually extremely roomy with the right touch of retro and very clever use of space. It has worked very well for us ferrying around 2 kids, shopping etc etc, and if I need to move something really bulky, the back seats come completely out of the car to convert it into a small delivery van. Clever.
The cream coloured one she has is IMO the most stylish of the paint options.
Sadly, I think only Europe got the turbo diesel option. My mates one in Germany was a scorcher!

I always fancied A PT Cruiser with 4wd, raised suspension and offroad tyres myself.
Most Cruisers here have the 2.2L Mercedes TDi motor.
The 2.4 petrol seems a bit weeny with 140hp and 130 lb-ft compared to the diesels 150hp and around 230 lb-ft. For not much cash you can chip it to 210hp (no mention of torque).
I could get that look.
African style!

You could be stylish in the outback! :-)
The Ford Falcon is a sweet machine and it would sell like crazy over here in the states..

1974 Ford Falcon XB Coupe. 351C, toploader 4 speed, 9" diff. leaf springs - almost Mustang running gear.
This is the same shell as the black Max Max car.

You guys had much less restriction so you could design and build the cars in those days to perform well.It wasn't until the early 2000s that we gained more freedom to build the cars people wanted.
This is the main reasons we started bringing the Aussie designs to the states and you guys already had the designs we used so that brought down development costs for Ford and GM.

Brilliant engine and dynamics.
275kw according to the brochure, but a lot more inreality. And all it took was a bit of induction work, injectors and a tune and you could get 350+kw, no problem at all. The ZF 6 speed auto was a joy.
