I don't think Daimler even understood the PT, and as a result they didn't spend any money on it. It died from benign neglect. Simple as that. It drove fine. It was on a Neon based chassis, and for normal use, it was very capable, and had amazing ingress/egress, not to mention the original mass market retro styling. (Prowler wasn't for mass market)

The PT was the last remnant of the team-style Chrysler development, but suffered from the 'merger'.

...ok, here's MY Automotive Insight on why the PT Cruiser is finally out of production: It is what is known in the 'industry' as a P.O.S. I mean, that thing handled like a horse-and-buggy! The engine was under-powered, I neeed to hit like 4000RPM's just to get to 55mph, the steering was pokey! & the ergonomics left a lot to be desired all w/ less than 15K miles on it. My 2002 Taurus handled WAY better--even when it needed a tune-up.
