Nice. Although I don't think the Dart was a major player in that, what have their sales been like? Last I saw (which was like February's numbers) it wasn't good.

They were pointing out that Dart's increase in sales has out paced competitors increases. That's very good news.

I read a recent article about Cadillac sales growth and regaining gravitas. As an American I like seeing Cadillac making a comeback. Now let's get back to debating what the Chrysler brand should be.

 

[Sir Moses Wellington]

Okay, I did re-read that, and yea it's about growth. So yep, that's very good. I'm glad it's at least getting somewhere. But it's def not where it should be I think. But I get why it's not there yet.

The only non-Mopar owners in my family both own Caddys. New XTS and a new CTS. Very nice cars, but they do not ride as nice as older Cads, they have more of a Euro sport feeling and the 55 series tires transmit a lot of road noise and vibration and harshness into the cabin...just like Jags, Mercs and BMW's do. The look and quality of the car is much better, but the NVH of the new generation is worse than before.

I thought it was just me, I'm glad someone else thinks the same.
As a matter of fact, that is one area where the new Chrysler products excel in..low NHV compared to most of the competition. Take a ride in a Honda Pilot, then a JGC, Durango or Journey and see how much more quiet the Chrysler products are.

That's something Chrysler should be proud of. Cause that's the thing they were always beaten on. That and steering feel/controls, and sometimes brakes.

Just saw an ad up here in Canada, Dart 0% for 3 years.

That and steering feel/controls....

That's is mainly attributed to FWD, or what I call driving dynamics. The LX Cars don't have that problem, nor do the RWD Jeeps, or Dodge Rams.
The minivans and Journey have the best feel of the FWD cars, but the Journey I drive, is AWD and that may be the reason.

Just saw an ad up here in Canada, Dart 0% for 3 years.

In the US it is 1.9% for 3 years. Not a huge difference.

Don't forget, the $99 per month lease. That's cheaper than a phone bill and should have them flying off the lots for folks who lease.
It's cheap enough to make people think it's a trick. However that lease rate comes with a healthy down payment.

 

[Muther]

Around here the ads are for 150/mo, and around $2-2.5k for the lease of really decent Dart. I don't know what the length is of the lease. Usually its 36, 40, or 48 mo's.

with exceptional credit I can get 1.9x60mos.....and you get to keep your rebates :thumbsup:

 

[JRS200x]

exactly.. 1.9% is available normally right now for 60 months. 2.5% for 72 months... hell I've even seen 3.5% for 84. Rates are really low right now.

 

[Moparian]

Hmm the Ally rate is 6.9% for Dart in the Southeast.

with exceptional credit I can get 1.9x60mos.....and you get to keep your rebates :thumbsup:

SO basically you have to have a 750+ lol

 

[UN4GTBL]

I seriously lol'd at the Dart lease rates in Canada

 

[Moparian]

The Dart has like a 73% residual for leasing in the SE.
