My question is and no one seems to know: What percent of the market does Chrysler now have ? I have to guess about 12% ?

GM has 17% with Ford about 15 %?

Anybody ?

You were very close. http://online.wsj.com/mdc/public/page/2_3022-autosales.html

2012 US Sales Market Share
GM 18.4
Ford 14.9
Toyota 13.6
Chrysler 11.1
Honda 9.1
Nissan 8.7
Hyundai/KIA 8.6

Could the uptick in Journeys be due to Libertys that are starting to run out? People going to their local dealer looking for a Liberty and not finding many or stangely opioned leftovers so they check out and like the Journey

I thought Chrysler was up to 11.7% in the US now? Could have sworn I read that in a couple different places.

Moving fleet sales of a Grand Caravan to a Journey isn't all that difficult.

"You've ordered 1000 Grand Caravan SXTs, but we are unable to fulfill that order. We can instead offer 1000 similarly or better-equipped Journey crossovers at the same price."

 

[Mr.Source]

I think it may have been a lack of good marketing. Imho the Journey is the best looking crossover made but it just isnt on the radar of shoppers due to an awareness issue. You wouldnt belive the amount of people I talk to who honestly dont know it exists.

Of course,another marketing problem,when Chrysler will have fixed those kind of problems,Chrysler will be a different kind of company, they will sell a lot more.its true people ignore a lot of things from Chrysler products,Chrysler promotes just some vehicles and forgets about others, many people dont know what a Challenger is, many will answer you, oh yes,the Charger,the police car, oh my God.
When will Chrysler learn?

+1 Mr.Source,
It is why I would love to see a full product lineup in the Superbowl commercial.

Wow, that is a pretty good dip in GC sales, but if it was because of steel wheels that makes sense. The majority of Caravans around here have the steel wheels + wheel covers.

So fleet + retail Caravan AVP + SE + SXT sales. The SE Plus, SXT Plus, Crew, & R/T all have wheels.

Oh no, wait, that was 42. Damn...

A Hint.

The Number 40 has to Do With a Day of the Week and a Process Used in Engine Manufacturing.

Oh yes I get this all the time; Is that a Charger ? What kind of car is that ? Never seen on of those? That's a real nice car, what is it ?
A Dodge , oh my ! BUT most important they all love the style ! Getting a thumbs up from a Mustang owner was sweet !
