Chrysler reports rise in car, truck sales

Chrysler has a stigma because it accepted federal money? What choice did Chrysler have? They tried to avoid bankruptcy, but some bondholders wouldn't go along with Chrysler plan to do so.

It's true, their sales to rental fleets are robust. However, consumers have shunned the brand.

Dodge fans are sticking with Dodge and will continue to do so. Far now that may hold them till the new vehicles arrive or the econemy gets better.

Don't write them off just yet,..again...Fiat may be the one that does the final damage to them.

Toyota and Ford have a much higher sales percentage in fleet sales than Chrysler, go back and check your numbers, everybody has fleet sales, what are you gonna complain about next? guys like you always spin it to the negative, Fox News taught you well

Look at the large net loss reported by Chrysler, it is the result of dumping cars into fleet at discount.

Fleet sales are good for the company and why do you retards bring it up like it is some thing new. They been doing this for years. It is keeping us making 28.00 an hour,we love it.

It's called hostage money. My pension is gauranteed, is yours? LMAO - keep toiling away wondering if they'll execute the Fiat Mexico master production plan.

You'll never get the retirement incentive, you'll just continue under the current contract and just wait for the concessions in 2011. Frozen wages? Yep. Increased co-pays? Yep. Reduced job classifications? Yep.

What else will you give up in 2011 to hang on to that once glorious job.

Chrysler, retail sales down 35% on the year, fleet up 111%. Broke!

Hey "The Truth 1" Here is the sales data from Automotive News. You are incorrect, Ford and Toyota DO NOT have higher sales percentage fleet sales then Chrysler:

Fleets fuel surge at GM, Chrysler
Internal documents show retail sales are down through July
Jesse Snyder
Automotive News -- August 9, 2010 - 12:01 am ET

Internal documents obtained by Automotive News show that much of the recovery at the two companies comes from sales to daily rental fleets.

The data show retail sales were down less than 1 percent at GM and off 19 percent at Chrysler through July.

By comparison, Ford Motor Co. had fewer sales to daily rental buyers.

But GM fleet sales are up 53 percent to 400,000 units so far this year, internal documents indicate. Chrysler more than doubled fleet volume to 242,000 units.

Fleet's contribution
Fleet as percentage of U.S. sales, Jan. through July:

Chrysler Group 39%
Ford Motor 35%
General Motors 31%
Hyundai brand 16%
Nissan North America 15%*
Toyota Motor Sales 9%
American Honda 2%*

no ones pension is gaurenteed!!!! no ones!! thats some good sh*t u smokin!! PBGC only pays out a %age if co files bankruptcy!!!unless u fund it yourself like 401 stocks and bonds and even then u saw what just happened to millions of peoples 401s!!

I know you have trouble wrapping your feeble mind around it, but the pension is gauranteed, and the buyout money ($100K) and free vehicle (Hemi Grand Cherokee) were just icing on the cake.

So basically I was paid $100K and given a $37K vehicle to put in my retirement papers to start collecting a pension. Jackpot.

Good luck in 2011 with the contract discussions. Who will the UAW actually negotiate with: the Italians or Obama?

Got COLA?

Don't let Truckin fool you. It don't got nothing. Money spent and no pension. He just broke. LMAO!!!!

No ones pension is guaranteed? How do you explain bankrupt GM/Delphi union employees pension made whole after being turned over to the PBGC? Don't say they had a contract. Bankruptcy voids all contracts. Don't get me wrong, they earned and deserve their pensions and thank god they got it.
The point - Pension guaranteed, EVEN AFTER BANKRUPTCY!

One thing is for sure, when they kick you to the curb you won't be collecting a pension,$100K, or a Fiat 500 clown car. Good luck pal.

COLA?

They done kicked you to the curb Truckin. LMAO!!!!
