Chrysler may be feeling some discomfort in the United States, but overseas they are realizing some excellent results. According to a Chrysler spokesman, international sales are up 14 percent thru Aug of 2006 with fifteen straight months of month-to-month increases. The stories 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 year-to-date through August 2006. According to JATO Dynamics, a market information company, Jeep sales were up 25% in Europe through August compared to 2005, a lot of the increase because of the excellent performances of the new Grand Cherokee and Chief . These provoking sales results have made Chrysler the 2nd quickest growing automotive group in Europe, 2nd only to Fiat, and Chrysler anticipates that world sales will account for 9% of total sales by 2007.
Looking at the sales numbers it is simple to see why the people at Chrysler were pumped up about the unveiling 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’s held each 2 years. It’s a trend-setting showcase for the automobile industry around the globe and it attracts participants from all corners of the globe. The recently demo’ed Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited models get power from a new 2.8 litre diesel engine and feature a broad array of new off-road features. They can hit European dealer showrooms around April of 2006, and Chrysler feels they’ll be a top hit. Why shouldn’t we think them? They seem to have a superb grasp on the ECU market at the moment.
It is good that Chrysler, an Yankee automobile manufacturer, and Jeep are making themselves known round the world and realizing some fantastic 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!.
