Looking at it by nameplate, though, Toyota blasted Dodge and is coming up on Chevy and Ford real fast…of course Ford has little but Ford, but Chevy is joined by GMC, Pontiac, etc.
If you could direct me to the individual nameplate data that would great…..I could do a better review.
Since you’re breaking down DCX into nameplates for comparison
- does not Toyota consist of Toyota, Lexus & Scion?
Also what would the breakdown of Chrysler group be versus Mercedes (including Smart)
Chrysler Group = 153,553 units = market share = 13.77%
Mercedes = 14,322 units = market share = 1.28%
Glad to hear some good news from Canada.
I just read Chrysler’s US marketshare is at 11.2 % and will fall to 10.6%!
DCX should never have killed Plymouth. What is missing from the Chrysler group lineup are cars like the Neon and Breeze. Chrysler has nothing to compete with Versa, Fit, Aveo, Yaris or the Scions or Kias. They need an entry level brand: bring back Plymouth! If nothing else, they need to get a neon-based Dodge Hornet to the market immediately. They also need to build a car slotted above the 300C–the Imperial–it would sell and make money. And where are the cross-over SUV’s?
