Dodge Grand Caravan is the #1 Minivan in America

September was already a good month to be boastful about for the auto industry. Chrysler in particular finished the month much better than expected. Dodge was all smiles about the report, in particular to the news that the 2013 Dodge Dart was really starting to pick up the steam on the sales floor. That wasn’t the only thing, however, that the company would’ve been pleased to find out about because in the minivan category there was another surprise.

The Dodge Grand Caravan is leading the pack of minivans available on the market. It’s placed first for the month with 108,127 units. That places it well above the closest competitor, the Honda Odyssey. At the current rate, there’s no little doubt that it will be the best selling minivan of the year.

The 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan is also on the way. The new minivan will be coming with all sorts of new enhancements to improve on the already winning formula. It will have the lowest starting US MSRP of just $19,995 which is $1,000 less than in 2012. You can purchase the vehicle in all new colors including Blue Streak, Maximum Steel, and Billet Silver. The second-row bench seat will be standard on the AVP model which will also recline, fold, and even is removable for added storage if needed.

If you’re in the market to purchase a minivan, it’s pretty obvious that people are seeing that Dodge offers the premium choices. Go online and see for yourself at the Dodge Show-Room on our website.

Dodge Dart Sales Grow in August

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.

Dodge Dart is the hottest car of the year and we’ll be continuing the coverage it creates. You can keep up to date on it by liking us on Facebook and following us on Twitter. Don’t forget to pay a visit to the online show-room for more information on the Dart and other Dodge vehicles.
