Jeepster

Chrysler LLC’s Jeep brand continued its success outside the U.S. and North American market. The company has recently reported that it earned a 15% growth in sales in North America and 14% increase for the company’s international sales for the month of October 2007. These markets include Asia Pacific, Latin America, Middle East, China, Brazil and Russia.

Michael Manley, Executive Vice President - International Sales, Marketing and Business Development commented: "It is important to recognize opportunities outside North America to balance the impact any one region can have on the business. Our focus on growth is not only to increase sales internationally, but also to ensure that the growth is balanced among the Company’s three brands. Our continued focus must be on developing great products that are appropriate for our markets, world-class quality and the development of the most competitive distribution channels."

Thomas Hausch, Vice President - International Sales also commented:
"The expanded portfolio for the Jeep brand has resulted in a sales increase of more than 10,000 units so far this year, and established it as the Company’s highest volume brand outside North America. Replacements for existing models, such as Grand Cherokee and Wrangler have been very well received; and this month in Morocco, we are launching the all-new Jeep Cherokee to International markets, which we believe will help the brand grow its global presence even further. Overall, with 197,000 units sold year to date, we have already surpassed the total calendar year sales for 2005, and Jeep has contributed significantly to this accomplishment."

Jeep posted 79,520 units sold outside North America, which include the new Jeep Wrangler and Jeep Grand Cherokee as the leading vehicle models.

Anyway, it is time for me to check for some Hotchkis sway bar on the web, so chill out!
