I don't think I've ever heard anyone compliment anything about the PT Cruiser before. From what I've read, they did everything wrong (assuming you want a car that drives well and lasts a long time, and doesn't look hideous).

I think they had checklist like this: Retro design, quirky, different. I actually like the concept. But the implementation is just terrible.

I think the number one item on the checklist was "how can we build a car that /just barely/ crosses the line into 'light truck' category so has much lower fuel mileage targets per CAFE standards". On that point they did very well.
