2001 Chrysler Prowler Review

Summary

What Edmunds.com says

A cool-looking homage to a '32 Ford roadster, but where's the V8 and manual tranny?

Pros

Outrageous styling, limited production, definite "wow" factor, nuke-power sound system.

Cons

Completely impractical, disappointing performance, harsh ride and boring transmission.

What's New for 2001

In January, the Plymouth brand was dropped from the Prowler name, and it became a Chrysler. To mark the change, a new "Mulholland Edition" was introduced in a dark blue coupe with white pinstriping. Also new this year, Chrysler is offering two new paint schemes for its Prowler. A two-tone version (the top of the car will be black and the sides will be silver), called the "Black Tie Edition," will appear. It also includes a silver instrument cluster bezel and silver floor mats. And, later in 2001, a new color, Prowler Orange, will also be available. Silver will still be offered, but red, yellow, black and purple are discontinued.
