Chrysler LLC today reported total June 2008 U.S. sales of 117,457 units, which is 36 percent below the same period last year. Total June sales reflect a continued contraction of the market, especially of pickup trucks and SUVs, continued reductions in fleet sales, and increases in Chrysler's newest highly fuel-efficient vehicles. All sales figures are reported as unadjusted.
"The June results reflect the industry-wide impact of U.S. consumer confidence being at its lowest point since 1992," Jim Press, President and Vice-Chairman of Chrysler LLC said. "But Chrysler is fighting back and making progress by continuing to invest in our products and aligning our volume with the market.
"During difficult periods like this, it is critical that we continhttp://www.blogger.com/img/gl.link.gifue to evolve our products to meet our customers' needs and as a result, be a stronger company when the economy recovers. Examples of this evolution are our six vehicles that get 28 miles per gallon, and the 2009 Dodge Ram and 2009 Chrysler Aspen/Dodge Durango Hybrids with improved fuel economy, innovative storage, and industry-leading Internet connectivity options."
Chrysler's Let's Refuel America $2.99 Gas Guarantee Plus Cash program has been extended through July 31. The program continues to help improve showroom traffic and drive sales of the company's most fuel-efficient vehicles. For July, the program will offer the unique opportunity for customers to lock in their gas prices at $2.99 for three years and get cash back (on the majority of vehicles). The other two incentive choices offered are cash back alone or 0 percent APR financing. Since the program began in May, the vehicles in Chrysler's lineup with the highest gas program take rate were the Chrysler Sebring Sedan, Dodge Journey, Dodge Caliber and Dodge Avenger.
