Chrysler Group, which consists of the Chrysler, Jeep(R) and Dodge

most fuel-efficient vehicles to date. On the heels of the successful launch
of the Dodge Caliber, Chrysler Group continues its product offensive with
the launch of the Jeep Compass. The Jeep Compass expands the product
portfolio of the Jeep brand with an all-new, modern-styled compact Jeep
that delivers fun, freedom, utility, excellent fuel efficiency and Jeep 4x4
capability at a terrific value. The Jeep Compass is available at Jeep
dealers nationwide and has received positive feedback amid brisk sales.

with 21,591 new vehicles sold, an increase of 4 percent over last July. The
Mercedes-Benz portfolio of luxury light trucks -- the M-, R-, G- and

increase over last July as a group.
Detailed vehicle sales information for MBUSA and Chrysler Group will be
announced later today in separate press releases issued by the groups.

Retail Sales For Ford's New Mid-Size Sedans Climb 18 Percent in July; Ford Posts Second Best Retail Month in 2006 


 * Retail sales for the Ford Fusion, Mercury Milan, and Lincoln Zephyr were
  a record 19,440 in July, up 18 percent compared with June. Total sales
  (including fleet deliveries) for the company's new mid-size sedans were
                                  20,129.
 * Overall, Ford's July retail sales were up 7 percent compared with June -
                  the second best retail month in 2006.
* Ford's total July sales were down 34 percent compared with July 2005 when
              Ford offered employee prices to all customers.

    DEARBORN, Mich., Aug. 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Retail demand
continues to grow for Ford's (NYSE: F) new mid-size sedans (Ford Fusion,
Mercury Milan, and Lincoln Zephyr). Retail sales for the trio totaled
19,440, up 18 percent compared with June 2006. Total sales (including fleet
deliveries) were 20,129.
    Demand is expected to remain strong in the coming months as 2007
models, which went into production on July 31, will incorporate several
standard safety features (e.g., side air bags) and all-wheel drive as an
option.
    Overall, Ford's July retail sales were up 7 percent compared with June
-- the second best retail month in 2006. Seven Ford products posted their
best retail sales of the year including the Fusion, Milan, Ford Five
Hundred, and Ford Explorer. Ford's F-Series truck posted its second best
retail month of the year as did the Ford Freestyle and the Ford Expedition.
    Compared with July 2005, most Ford products experienced sharp declines
and overall sales declined 34 percent. In July 2005, Ford offered employee
prices (Ford Family Plan) to all customers and posted record sales for the
month.
    "We had a solid retail month in July," said Al Giombetti, president,
Ford and Lincoln Mercury sales and marketing. "We are particularly
encouraged by the response to our new cars, which offer distinctive styling
and outstanding fuel economy. They are definitely the right products at the
right time."
    Later this year, Ford will introduce two all-new crossover utilities,
the Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX.

Suzuki's July 2006 Sales up Over Last Year

BREA, Calif.--Aug. 1, 2006--American Suzuki Motor Corp. (ASMC) today announced sales of 8,030 units in July - an increase of 13 percent over July 2005. Year-to-date sales total 64,989, up 32 percent over the previous year. Suzuki's monthly sales records continue its recent sales momentum, which included record sales of 82,101 in 2005 - the best sales year in American Suzuki's 21-year history.


ASMC's growth was led by the sales of its Grand Vitara, which sold 2,146 units, an impressive 675 percent increase over last year's numbers. The top-selling Forenza family of vehicles also contributed to Suzuki's record month, with 4,446 units sold in July.

"Suzuki's record-setting sales pace puts American Suzuki on track to continue our growth in 2006," said Koichi Suzuki, president of American Suzuki's Automotive Operations. "The sales success of the Grand Vitara and the Forenza models, combined with the scheduled launch of two new Suzuki vehicles later this year (the all-new Suzuki XL7 SUV and the all-new Suzuki SX4 with standard all-wheel drive) positions American Suzuki for a successful sales result this year."

Suzuki's expanding product line in the United States includes the media-acclaimed Grand Vitara, the popular Forenza sedan and Forenza Wagon, the five-door Reno, the Aerio and Aerio SX, the Verona and the Suzuki XL-7, one of the most affordable seven-passenger SUVs sold in the United States.

In addition to the strong vehicle lineup, Suzuki automobiles feature America's #1 Warranty with its industry-leading 100,000-mile/7-year, zero deductible, fully transferable limited powertrain warranty.
