Dozens.
Good Job Chyrsler!
In February they sold 58% of their cars to fleet sales. This means the retail buying public is NOT buying Chrysler products. What % of May sales were fleet sales?
Charger=Rent-A-Car. 300=Vain and overpriced copycat of Charger. Challenger=beaten by their direct competitor Mustang/Camaro. Grand Cherokee=We don't need anymore SUV's. Sebring/Avenger=Rent-A-Car worthlessness. These cars will not be hits.
The SRT's appeal to us enthusiants who post on message boards, but they are not worth it if the base models doesn't sell.
False. It was meant to be a 100% competitor to the Mustang and Camaro. It failed. The sales numbers don't lie. They would have never made the car if they knew they would only sell 30000. It does not make financial sense to do so.
Where did that money come from? It wasn't from sales profits.
They are not real sales increases. They are still far, far down from their pre bubble peaks. They flat out lied during their bankruptcy hearings about their projected sales after bankruptcy. They will not make those #'s. Fiat will bail out of the deal and Chrysler will be dead in a few years.

How many pwople did Ford and GM fire? i think you'll find that number as much or higher. I didn't even bother reading the rest of your post because it is biased anti-Chrysler crap. Get over it! It is going to take time to rebuild it, no doubt, but the future is BRIGHT.
