March 2 (Bloomberg) -- Chrysler Group LLC, the U.S. automaker run by Fiat SpA, will post an increase of a few hundred units compared with a year earlier, the first sales gain since December 2007, a person familiar with the results said.

Sales for the Auburn Hills, Michigan-based automaker, will rise by less than 1 percent, said the person who declined to be named because the results aren’t public yet. Chrysler is scheduled to release its February sales figures later today. Chrysler sold 84,050 vehicles a year earlier.

Good news I guess. Could have edited out all of the spam though

 

Thats wierd? I did edit it out the 1st time. must not have finished.

 

In light of how old the lineup is, it is a good sign.

 

Much better

 

that article is written to avoid showing how poorly chrysler is doing. they did see an increase for feb of 2010 compared to feb of 2009, but they sold about a third of the vehicles that chevy did and about a fifth of what ford sold.

 

Well, Chrysler has pretty much been #3 in the sales spot. (If you consider only GM and Ford)
And hey, at least we know any reasons for possible quality lapses, isn't because their growing too fast for their own good. (Unlike some other auto maker)

 

A few hundred units more than a year ago is nothing to brag about for sure.

 

a little bit is better than nada, sometimes you get the whole enchilada.

Its always a good thing even if its only a slight amount and I hear were rockin in europe

 

I'll take a very slight increase over the history of declines.

And Chrysler doesn't seem to be bragging about it. Just stating a fact.
