Bzzzt.. False.. They have nothing in common. That is about as bad as saying
the PT Cruiser was built on a Neon chassis (which is also false, granted the
SRT-4 and the PT share the almost same block) The Neon (the PL or PL2000
chassis)was designed and built in the good ole USA. Mitsu had nothing to do
with a Neon. http://www.allpar.com/neon/design.html
