The Prowler evokes the emotions and entertains the eye at every angle. Its enduring appeal depends on the fact that it is not just a bright idea and a smart design but that it is well executed. Detail is attended to, fit and finish are admirable. Sleekly sophisticated with its flattened wedge shape, voluptuous curves and unique color schemes, the Prowler is nonetheless a most affable machine. Indeed, if you didn't climb into its lap first it might climb into yours.
Color continues to be part of the appeal of the Prowler. With this car, Chrysler appears to be more like the Franklin Mint than a carmaker. Collectability is a real consideration, and the choice and timing of color options is a teaser to craving. The first year's purple led to a singing yellow in mid 1999. Then came a lipstick red and a black. (Two-tone red and black was used for a special Woodward Dream Cruise edition.) Silver was the new color for 2000. That was joined last Halloween with a deep orange, sort of like a Jack O'Lantern flashed with candle fire. Also for 2001 was a two-tone black and silver metallic called Black Tie Edition, as entertaining as a lounge magician. A special Mulholland Drive edition came in a deep sapphire Pearlcoat blue with light blue hand striping and a dark blue top. Sounds edible, doesn't it? Color the Prowler gold for 2002, but orange and silver will also be available.
