The Valiant was introduced by Chrysler in the compact car category to rival the Corvair and Falcon. Reaction to the styling was ambivalent but all agreed that the engine and transmission were good.

This is a book of contemporary road test, technical and specification data, model introductions, drivers' impressions, long-term tests, racing.

A young stylist has successfully created a modern-looking shape out of classic design cues. Faired-in head and tail lamps plus modern streamlining has resulted in a hint of classic American hot-rod. Yet the PT Cruiser is also carefully targeted at a large segment of society. Inside are all the accoutrements of a modern mini-van, or MPV. Flexible seating and plenty of space and powered by an economical four cylinder engine driving the front wheels, the top speed of around 115mph was appreciated. There has subsequently been a diesel for Europe. This is a book of contemporary road and comparison tests, technical and specification data, introductory driving impressions, long term tests. 140 pages, 375 illus including over 50 in full colour.
