exterior_04June was a good month for Chrysler. Seven of their vehicles set record sales for the month across all their platforms. It was also the 39th consecutive month of year-over-year sales increases. Here are the vehicles that broke the records for June.

Starting with Jeep, it was the Jeep Wrangler up 12 percent from the previous year, the Compass, up 24 percent, and the Patriot up 20%.

Next up is Chrysler’s own vehicle. The 200 led the pack of makes with a 14 percent increase from 2012.

For Ram trucks, the Cargo Van C/V is up 13 percent from last June.

Lastly, Dodge had the Challenger up 27 percent and the Dodge Dart sold 6, 437 vehicles.

That’s not to say that any vehicle not on this list did poorly by any means. The Grand Cherokee, for example, had its best June in over eight years. It was the #2 seller for all of Chrysler and was up 33 percent from June of 2012.

Ram trucks have been enjoying the fact that the large truck segment is one of the fastest growing segments in the whole industry and pickup sales were 24 percent higher than last year.

Overall, there’s a good reason for the people at Chrysler to be celebrating. Their sales streak continues and in this case even looks better than ever. This is what happens when you give the market quality cars.

Who doesn’t enjoy a good road trip?  I’ve made plenty of them across the state to enjoy a weekend away from the daily grind.  That being said, those trips typically take a couple of hours to accomplish.  I can’t even imagine what it would be like to make that kind of a journey on a bike.

That’s just what a Chrysler employee is doing.  Doug Meenan has joined with 25 other cyclists for the Journey of Hope campaign.  It’s a cross-country biking trip from the Golden Gate Bridge to Capitol Hill to raise money for charity.  The trip stated on June 9th and will the cyclists will reach their destination on August 10th.

While on the way to our nation’s capitol, the cyclists will be making various pit stops.  The stops will see them volunteering their time at local groups and other events that benefits people with disabilities.

The employees at the Belvidere Plant, Illinois have already provided Meenan with support.  “Many co-workers have donated and helped me with my fundraising,” he said.  “The union has been very helpful and has even given us the Union Hall to sleep at and plan on feeding us dinner when we ride into town on July 19th.”

Push America is the fundraiser for Journey of Hope and they help raise awareness for people with disabilities.

Chrysler: We’re Still “Imported from Detroit”

imported-from-detroitNot that long ago, there were rumors going around that Chrysler might be moving away from their popular “Imported from Detroit” ad campaign, but last week, Chrysler’s chief marketing officer Olivier Francois announced that “Imported from Detroit” isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.

Francois assured Chrysler fans in a statement that, “’Imported from Detroit’ is and will continue to be the tagline for the Chrysler brand.” He recognizes that the tagline appeals to consumers who don’t want to “cross an ocean” to find a quality car with modern style and technology.

“Imported from Detroit” will be used this year for the 2013 Chrysler 300 Motown edition and the 2013 Chrysler 300C John Varvatos Luxury Edition, and Chrysler will continue to offer “Imported from Detroit” merchandise through their website.

You can watch the original “Imported from Detroit” Super Bowl commercial below.

We want to hear from you, our readers. What do you think of Chrysler sticking with their “Imported from Detroit” campaign? Are you glad they are keeping it, or do you want a whole new campaign? Leave a comment below, and tell us what you think.
