Mike Brewer is one of the most respected figures within the motoring industry.
Much like many people, he prefers particular brands and particular models.
However, the car show host has listed the one American muscle car he considers ‘hideous.’
And most fans have actually agreed with him on his opinion.

Mike Brewer despises one particular car
Even if you are not from the UK, there’s every chance you’ve heard of Mike Brewer.
The London native has, for years, been a presenter and journalist within the motoring world.
He is most famous for the TV show Wheeler Dealers, which has been very successful.
First released in 2003, the premise of the show is to buy cars that require some fixing up, and sell them on for a profit.
For the first 14 years, the show was very successfully co-hosted by mechanic Edd China.
Much like in real life, Brewer scours the internet – and previously classifieds – looking for cars worth fixing.
Now, the show has more of a global reach, as he travels the world looking for cars that can be fixed up and sold.
The one car that the presenter hates
Recently, Mike held a Facebook Q&A on the official Wheeler Dealers Facebook page.
During the Q&A, Brewer was asked if there was a car that he hated so much that he would never feature it on his show.
He said: “What car car would I never do? Yeah, there is [one]. That’s a great question.”
As it turns out, that car is the Chrysler PT Cruiser Convertible.
To be fair, the Chrysler PT Cruiser hasn’t aged… brilliantly.
Produced between 2005 and 2008, the PT Cruiser definitely split opinion.
Chrysler canned by Brewer
Brewer elaborated further on his dislike for the Chrysler car in the Q&A.
“I can’t stand yellow cars and I can’t stand the PT cruiser and I can’t stand a convertible even more
If that wasn’t bad enough, Brewer had even more scathing words for the Chrysler.
The car guru described the design as the ‘worst design ever.’
And the television presenter wasn’t finished there.
He continued: “They are just hideous… he needs a punch whoever designed it.
“He does. Sorry if you’ve got one. It’s hideous.”
So, if you happen to be in the market for a new car – maybe steer clear of the Chrysler PT Cruiser Convertible.
Mike Brewer certainly won’t be your biggest fan.
