Chrysler Dealers See Second Push of New models Since Bankruptcy

Submitted by webadmin on

Chrysler Group LLC dealers came away from a day-long company show led by CEO Sergio Marchionne in Las Vegas on Monday confident that they will be selling a lineup of more competitive cars and trucks over the next two years, Reuters reported yesterday. Marchionne and chiefs of brands including those of Chrysler's majority owner Fiat SpA, showed 66 different cars and truck model variations to be introduced by 2014, up from 29 shown two years ago at a similar dealer meeting in Orlando. At Orlando in 2010, Marchionne introduced the first wave of new models since the bankruptcy that have helped lead Chrysler to 29 consecutive months of year-on-year monthly sales gains and a rise of the U.S. market share this year to 11.1 percent from 8.9 percent at the end of 2009.
