Dodge Sales Soar in February

UntitledThere were some rumors going around the web that February might be the first month in a long while that sales for Chrysler would be down. Now that the month is over with and we can look at the numbers, looks like it’s not quite time for disappointment. Thanks in large part to Dodge, Chrysler sales a sales boost for the month of February.

The auto sales rose 4.1% which is the best February the company has enjoyed since 2008. Dodge was the biggest aid with their vehicles, almost every vehicle, increasing at least 21%. Here’s the breakdown:

The big star of the show is the Dodge Dart. While it’s had a harder time getting out of the gate than the company would prefer, February may be a sign of things improving. The Dart had the best sales month since it was introduced last June.

Looks like the speculation on when this sales streak will just have to continue. Everyone’s been waiting for the drop for months. I think the attention shift should be that buyers are preferring quality in their car purchases and that’s why Chrysler has reigned.

Dodge Looks to Fuel Efficent Cars to Win Big

Gas prices were one of the major components in the downfall of the auto industry. When prices sky rocketed to $4.12 in July of 2008, the Big Three weren’t prepared to deal with it by having smaller cars. Instead, the big thing at the moment were the giant gas guzzling SUVs and trucks. Sales went down more than 20 percent compared to Toyota with the fuel efficient Corolla which went up 16 percent.

Now that the auto industry has managed to dig their way out of the hole, they are making sure to not make the same mistake. In order to not repeat mistakes of the past, Dodge is making sure to have choices available to those feeling the pinch at the pump. Buyers are wanting to get the smaller cars now, especially with the constant fluctuation of gas prices. That’s why Dodge is getting ready to let loose with the Dart.

The Dart is designed to target the consumer who wants to get a great vehicle and not spend so much extra fueling it up. Dodge seems to understand that, in these times, the best cars will be the one that doesn’t break the bank at the pump. The best cars will be the ones that make sure the gas station is something seen only in the rear view.
