Chrysler Canada Keeps Growing

Chrysler Canada revealed the September 2009 sales figures, posting an increase of 10 percent as compared to August. September brought the best Dodge brand results of 2009, the company said in a release.

Specifically, the company sold a total of 15,857 units in September, with two models, Dodge Ram Pickup and Dodge Grand Caravan, making the list of Canada's Top 10 best-selling nameplates.

"You can't sell off of an empty wagon - we were finally able to replenish our depleted vehicle inventory levels, and it showed in our September results," said Reid Bigland, President and CEO - Chrysler Canada. "Sales were exceptionally strong in September of our recently-awarded J.D. Power 'Most Dependable' minivans as well as the Dodge Ram 1500, this year's recipient of the AJAC 'Best New Pickup Truck' award."

The Dodge brand delivered a total of 11,481 units, with Dodge Ram accounting for 3,934 units. Light duty Dodge Ram pickup sales grew 41 per cent in September, to 3,363 units as compared to 2,392 in September last year. Sales of Chrysler Canada cars grew 19 percent in September as compared to last year.

"Our strong September results indicate that thousands of Canadians already 'dared to compare' other products to our Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge vehicles, and picked us as 'the leader of the pack," said Dave Buckingham, Vice President of Sales, Chrysler Canada.

"During the month of October, our dealers have upped the ante - inviting over 800,000 of our loyal customers back to their showrooms for a special event to stack up our Dodge Ram, Dodge Grand Caravan, and Dodge Journey against the competition."
