Chrysler Group Announces June 2007 U.S. Sales and International Sales Highlights
- Chrysler Group car sales rise 55 percent fueled by "Maximize Your Miles"
program
- Jeep(R) brand up 19 percent
- Jeep Wrangler increases 93 percent
- Dodge Charger gains 19 percent
- Inventory down by 25 percent or 162,266 units
- Sales outside of North America up 21 percent -- highest month ever
AUBURN HILLS, Mich., July 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Chrysler Group
reported sales for June 2007 of 183,347 units; down 1 percent compared to
June 2006 with 185,946 units. All sales figures are reported unadjusted.
"In a challenging market, Chrysler Group had softer sales in June than
a year ago. We saw strong customer interest in our newly launched, fuel
efficient models," said Darryl Jackson, Vice President - U.S. Sales.
"Supported by the fuel economy message of our 'Maximize Your Miles'
program, Chrysler continued to show strong car sales with an increase of 55
percent over the previous year."
Chrysler brand car sales in June were up 104 percent year-over-year,
while Dodge brand car sales increased 30 percent. Chrysler Group's
offerings in the car segment include the Chrysler Sebring Sedan and Sebring
Convertible, the Chrysler 300, the Dodge Avenger, Dodge Caliber and Dodge
Charger.
Jeep brand sales continued to increase in June and posted a gain of 19
percent over the previous year. This result was again driven by the
continuously strong Jeep Wrangler and Jeep Patriot. Jeep Wrangler and
Wrangler Unlimited posted sales of 10,952 units, up 93 percent compared to
June 2006 with 5,674 units. The Jeep Patriot also kept its momentum and
finished June with sales of 4,633 units, up 3 percent from May 2007. The
vehicle is one of Chrysler Group's recently introduced models that achieve
30 miles per gallon or better in highway driving. In addition, the Jeep
Grand Cherokee also posted a gain of 3 percent year-over-year.
The Chrysler Sebring Convertible finished the month with sales of 3,759
units which is 22 percent over May 2007. The recently launched redesigned
model offers what no other convertible has offered before - three
automatically latching convertible top options: vinyl, cloth and a
body-color painted steel retractable hard top, all of which can be
retracted with a push of a button on the key fob.
Sales of the Dodge Charger increased in June by 19 percent with 11,529
units compared to 9,710 units in the previous year.
"As our strong car sales in May and June demonstrate, our 'Maximize
Your Miles' program resonated well with customers," said Michael Keegan,
Vice President - Volume Planning and Sales Operations. "Moving forward,
Chrysler Group will extend its low-rate financing plus additional bonus
cash in July, with a 0% APR offering for 60 months on select models. These
great value packages were successful in the recent months as well."
Chrysler Group finished the month with 485,429 units of inventory, or a
71-day supply. Inventory is down by 25 percent compared to June 2006 when
it was at 647,695 units.
Posting its highest month ever of sales outside of North America and
sustaining 25 consecutive months of year-over-year sales gains; Chrysler
Group's International monthly sales increased 21 percent to 22,901 units in
June 2007 compared to 18,971 units in June 2006.
"The strength of our new product portfolio coupled with the support of
our dealer network outside North America is driving the growth we have seen
so far this year," said Thomas Hausch - Vice President of International
Sales. "We expect to maintain the double digit growth this year, including
record export numbers, and continue to strategically grow production
volumes and sales outlets outside North America for all three brands."

vehicle is one of Chrysler Group's recently introduced models that achieve
30 miles per gallon or better in highway driving. In addition, the Jeep
Grand Cherokee also posted a gain of 3 percent year-over-year.
The Chrysler Sebring Convertible finished the month with sales of 3,759
units which is 22 percent over May 2007. The recently launched redesigned
model offers what no other convertible has offered before - three
automatically latching convertible top options: vinyl, cloth and a
body-color painted steel retractable hard top, all of which can be
retracted with a push of a button on the key fob.
Sales of the Dodge Charger increased in June by 19 percent with 11,529
units compared to 9,710 units in the previous year.
"As our strong car sales in May and June demonstrate, our 'Maximize
Your Miles' program resonated well with customers," said Michael Keegan,
Vice President - Volume Planning and Sales Operations. "Moving forward,
Chrysler Group will extend its low-rate financing plus additional bonus
cash in July, with a 0% APR offering for 60 months on select models. These
great value packages were successful in the recent months as well."
Chrysler Group finished the month with 485,429 units of inventory, or a
71-day supply. Inventory is down by 25 percent compared to June 2006 when
it was at 647,695 units.
Posting its highest month ever of sales outside of North America and
sustaining 25 consecutive months of year-over-year sales gains; Chrysler
Group's International monthly sales increased 21 percent to 22,901 units in
June 2007 compared to 18,971 units in June 2006.
"The strength of our new product portfolio coupled with the support of
our dealer network outside North America is driving the growth we have seen
so far this year," said Thomas Hausch - Vice President of International
Sales. "We expect to maintain the double digit growth this year, including
record export numbers, and continue to strategically grow production
volumes and sales outlets outside North America for all three brands."

Mazda Sales Up 8.6 Percent for June
Mazda Sales Up 8.6 Percent for June
- Calendar Year Sales up 8.5 Percent -
IRVINE, Calif., July 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Mazda North American
Operations (MNAO) today reported its best June since 2004 with U.S. sales
of 25,761, accounting for an 8.6 percent increase versus the same period
last year. Year-to-date sales of 152,683 are up 8.5 percent year-over-year.
Mazda Motor de Mexico (MMdM) continues its string of hot sales with
1,224 vehicles sold, more than double June 2006. On a year-to-date basis,
MMdM reported 7,503 total sales. Due to yesterday's Canadian holiday, Mazda
Canada, Inc. will report sales on July 4th.
"In spite of our small size, we've managed to make solid sales gains
while bucking the trend our much larger competitors have been following
toward ever deeper incentives," said Jim O'Sullivan, president and CEO of
MNAO.
Mazda's incentive spending is one of the lowest in the industry. With
no customer cash and only minimal lease and finance support, MAZDA3
celebrated its best-ever June since its 2003 launch with sales of 11,341
units, up 20 percent versus last year. In its fourth year of production,
the MAZDA3 remains a sales homerun for the company. Year-to-date, MAZDA3
sales are up 20.7 percent.
Mazda's CX-7 continues strong in the highly competitive crossover SUV
segment as it reported 4,103 units sold. Combined with the three-row,
seven-passenger CX-9 (itself selling 1,955 units in June), year-to-date
sales for Mazda's crossover SUVs total nearly 30,000 units.
With convertible driving season here, the MX-5 Miata reported its best
June since 2002 with sales of 1,608 units, up 1.5 percent year-over-year.
Available as both a soft-top and Power Retractable Hard Top model, the MX-5
Miata is the best-selling two-seat roadster of all time, with more than
850,000 sold since its 1989 launch.
Headquartered in Irvine, Calif., Mazda North American Operations
oversees the sales, marketing, parts and customer service support of Mazda
vehicles in the United States, Canada, Mexico and Puerto Rico through
nearly 900 dealers. Operations in Canada are managed by Mazda Canada, Inc.,
located in Ontario, Canada, and in Mexico by Mazda Motor de Mexico in
Mexico City.
