 Chrysler
still facing problems as sales crater
DETROIT |
The latest numbers on auto sales show that Chrysler needs to
quickly figure out how to navigate the car market as deftly
as it did bankruptcy court.
Ford's Fusion midsize car outsold all eight Chrysler brand
models combined in June. Chrysler's two minivans, which for
years dominated their market segment, were outsold by the
Honda Odyssey. Only one Chrysler Group LLC model showed a
sales increase over June of last year, the Dodge Challenger
muscle car. |
