Here are some highlights for the month of September:
Dodge Ram sales increased 6.9% to reach 2,914 units, a September monthly record, while Dodge Dakota’s monthly sales increased 9.5%.
Brampton-built-Chrysler 300/300C and Dodge Charger achieved monthly increases
of 19.6% (929 units from 777 units) and 120% (847 units from 385) respectively.
Newer models, like Dodge Caliber and Jeep Compass with sales of 1,810 and 371 respectively, are drawing new customers into the showrooms.
Not exactly the place to post this - but I wonder when Canada will get the Jeep Patriot? It is on the US Jeep site, but not ours. Come to think of it I haven’t seen a Patriot Ad yet, but those Compass ads are filling up adspace.
I would guess it would be sometime around Jan or Feb
Some of these sales numbers can be very misleading. Take the Charger going up 120%!! Sounds great on the surface. But 385 units is VERY disappointing (even though I personally wish they would have named the car something else). That is less than 8 units per STATE! Even at 847 it is only 17 per state. In a state the size of California, Texas or Montana you could go your entire life and never see one on the road. I think there are more than 385 1966/1967 Chargers still on the road and one is hard pressed to see one.
Sorry to confuse you Mike J.
These are Canadian sales for the month of September…..not the US numbers.
847 sales is a great month in Canada. Sales are usually only roughly 10% of their American counterpart.
Therefore, for comparison, the sales of the Charger would roughly be 8470 sales in America.
