Changing the timing belt on a Neon takes about 2-3 hours...PT is about 4-5
hours due to the engine placement.

No...they don't think about that since the engines are put together first
and then dropped into the vehicle with the transmission attached.

LESS room on the fender!? How the hell is that possible? On the neon,
you have to jack the engine up on the passenger side just to remove the
motor mount bracket and those gawd forsaken LONG bolts that hold it in
place... and thats on the edge of do-able maneuvers... and you say
there's even LESS room to work on the Cruiser?

Do engineers ever think of the possibility that cars and trucks and
their engines and components need to be worked on somewhere down the line?!

WTF!
