Consumer confidence has increased two consecutive months, interest rates have stabilized and inflation remains in check while other economic indicators are showing positive trends. The 10 new products we are launching will be a catalyst for sales growth in a strong and competitive market this year. |
Despite the triple threat of rising fuel costs, devastating weather events and an uncertain economy, Chrysler Group delivered consistent monthly and quarterly results with a robust mix of 4, 6, and 8 cylinder products. Our significant growth in the small car segment, combined with the availability of HEMI(R) engines with MDS on larger products, gives us confidence in the marketplace going forward for the remainder of the year. |

Half a point of market share is tough to get and easy to lose. |
I don't think anyone around here is declaring victory. We know there's a ton of competition, particularly in the truck and S.U.V. segments, we have to deal with. |
Our 5 percent total year increase was led by the exciting new products we launched in 2004 and 2005. We plan to continue that momentum into 2006 with strong, new, fuel-efficient product offerings beginning with the Dodge Caliber and Jeep Compass. |
Our car business is up 20 percent, and our LX products are up 62 percent. The Dodge Caliber begins production (Wednesday) and gives us a strong entry into the small car segment with an attractive price starting at $13,985. We are now a full-time car player. |
Our newest and best products carried the day for us in February. The LX platform posted sales of 30,241 units this month, our best ever. Overall, our car business is up 19 percent, and we have the all-new Dodge Caliber arriving at dealerships this month and attracting a new group of customers to our showrooms. |

That's very good business for us. That's not a business we have been in. |
The question, ... is when the market is going to come back. |
The steady, constant pace of product launches we have brought to market has enabled us to reach two years of consistent monthly and consecutive quarterly results. We plan to keep launching new, head-turning products in every category and at the same pace that will connect with customers and bring them into our showrooms. |
These innovative programs lay the groundwork in the marketplace for the Chrysler Group's upcoming product office. |
