Chrysler Canada announced total sales of 22,319 for
the month of July, an increase of 40 per cent compared with July 2009
(July 2009: 15,958).
-
This figure represents the best results for the month of July since 1997. Two of the top three selling nameplates in the country are Chrysler Canada vehicles - the Dodge Grand Caravan (No. 2) and the Ram Pickup (No. 3).
"These
numbers really speak for themselves," said Reid Bigland, President and
CEO - Chrysler Canada. "In June our sales were up in excess of 100 per
cent and now this is our best July in over a decade. When you couple
these sales numbers with Corporate operating profits in the first and
second quarters of this year, I don't think there is any doubt that our
restructuring efforts last year and alliance with Fiat are paying early
dividends."

"During July, we smashed many of our previous sales records," said Dave Buckingham, Vice President of Sales - Chrysler Canada. "While fleet sales continue to be solid, our real strength has been in incredibly robust retail sales at our dealerships."

With calendar year to date sales through July of 31,746, the Ram is up a significant 24 per cent over the vehicle's previous 2007 record for the same time period.
