Ryker Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 I was just thinking Saturday and I ponder why is it that there are no factory tinted cars except for the Dodge Magnum? Why is it that they can have it but not others? I am not complaining about it as the more that were factory tinted would be less for most of us....but I just wonder why. Also, are there factory tinted PT Cruisers? or any other "cars" out there? Anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest deanjones Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 The magnum is classified as a "Truck" from what I've read... Most truck's have factory tinted glass. I don't think the PT Cruiser is classified as a truck. Edit: Nevermind, the PT Cruiser is classified as a "Truck". Huh.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autoimage Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 But the PT cruiser, Dodge Caliber, can have factory tint the Ford Edge I belive all the the mini suv cross over can be bought with factory tint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiveofeen Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 caliber does not come with tint, the jeep compass does though.. same platform too.. I love it when vehicles typically sold with tint dont come with it, then its a real easy sell to the dealers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JTKSDB Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 It all depends on how the manufacturer can get the vehicle classified. Vehicle classifations are very important to them right now due to the popularity of the SUV market. They feel they need to have a SUV or at least a "crossover" unit in thier fleet for the "family vehicle". Those classified as "SUV" or "crossover SUV" can be put in the same class as trucks, vans, ect... And thanks to the U.S.D.M.V. ( or whoever makes those decisions ) they can have "privacy glass" factory installed on the rear windows. I do hope they never let this option be available on passenger cars, or we might be out of business. (maybe.....maybe not) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tintinater Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 I always thought it was anything on a truck chassis, that's why a limo could get away with it, supposedly it's on a truck chassis.....nowadays I don't believe for a second that limos are on a truck chassis, and I don't consider a Magnum a truck either, so I don't know what the deal is....I guess it's whatever the auto manufacturer can convince the world that it is...

wndotint Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 They are considered MPVs. (Multi Purpose Vehicle). 20 years ago they were called station wagons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest darkdan Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 Needs to have a flat cargo loading area to get it. Some have it and can be classified as a MPV, some don't and can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and to my knowledge, the PT Cruiser is built on a NEON frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
