Allpar is again on top of the JC49 game with spy shots of the crossover in even less dress than the last time we saw it. Looks like the news is pretty much the same, with Dodge getting a version of the Sebring-based crossover to be called Crew, and later on, Chrysler replacing the aging PT Cruiser with a distinctly non-retro variant.
Allpar predicts Chrysler will retain the PT Cruiser name, but cease production of the curvaceous hatchback in 2009 and replace it with a version of this car. Insiders say the current Cruiser's throwback design cues will be totally left to history.
The Dodge version is expected in showrooms in January for around $20,000, while the new Cruiser is expected sometime nearer 2010.
The dual exhaust seen on some test cars seems to indicate an optional V6 alongside a standard four-cylinder.
Allpar also says that Dodge plans to produce European versions of the car at its plant in China's Fujian province.
