Chrysler Overseas Doing Good

Chrysler may be feeling some pain in the States, but overseas they are realizing some fantastic results. According to a Chrysler spokesperson, international sales are up 14 percent through August of 2006 with fifteen straight months of month-to-month increases. The news is even better in Western Europe. Chrysler reported an increase of 35.6% in August 2006 compared with the performance from a year ago, and a sales increase of 15.5% for the YTD thru Aug 2006. According to JATO Dynamics, a market information company, Jeep sales were up 25% in Europe thru Aug compared to 2005, lots of the increase due to the fantastic performances of the new Grand Cherokee and Chief . These provoking sales results have made Chrysler the second quickest growing automotive group in Europe, second only to Fiat, and Chrysler forecasts that global sales will be responsible for 9% of total sales by 2007.

Looking at the sales numbers it’s easy to see why the people at Chrysler were happy about the revealing of their production version of the two-door Jeep Wrangler and four-door Jeep Wrangler Unlimited for the 1st time in Europe at the lately held Paris Motor Show. The Paris Motor Show is a major event that is held each 2 years. It’s a trend-setting showcase for the automotive industry around the world and it draws participants from all corners of the world. The newly demo’ed Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited models are powered by a new 2.8 litre diesel engine and feature a broad array of new off-road features. They’re going to hit ECU dealer showrooms around April of 2006, and Chrysler feels they’ll be a top hit. Why shouldn’t we believe them? They seem to have a good grasp on the EU market at the moment.

It is good that Chrysler, an Yank automobile manufacturer, and Jeep are making themselves known around the globe and realizing some glorious results. Now if only we could get our hands on those diesel powered Wranglers here in the good ole’ USA. Then we all could be happy!.
