The end of August means that the sales numbers for the month will be coming soon. While it’ll be interesting to see how the trends go for Chrysler and the rest of the industry, there is one notable bit of news already.

We’ve been hyping up and reporting on the upcoming Dodge Dart and about how much it’s going to take the industry by storm. The reviews have started coming in and it’s been extremely positive. August is really the first month where people could get the Dart in limited quantities before the full roll-out later this year. Dodge has put out the numbers for just how well the Dart did with the small release.

In the month of August, Dodge Dart managed to move 3,000 units. To put that in perspective, June had sales for the new vehicle at 250 units and 850 in July. Dodge wants to make sure that it’s careful with how it’s bringing out the new sedan and maintain a high quality.

Chrysler executives believe that September will be even higher for the sedan. A lot of that is due to the Dart seeing a much needed boost in its production over the course of the next month. The additional production to the Dart does come at the cost of the Jeep Compass and Patriot getting a lower number rolled out of the plants. The increase in making Darts has given the plant an additional workforce of 1,000 employees.
