April 1, 2013 , Windsor, Ontario - Chrysler Canada today announced its 40th consecutive month of year-over-year sales growth, representing the longest sales streak in the company’s history and the longest current streak in the industry. March 2013 sales were 24,173 compared with 22,703 vehicles sold in March, 2012, which represents a 6 per cent increase.

These sales results maintain Chrysler Canada’s position as the number one seller of vehicles in the country for 2013.

”We experienced our best Ram truck sales in our history this month, helping Chrysler remain the number one seller of vehicles in Canada,” said Dave Buckingham, Chief Operating Officer, Chrysler Canada. ”Dodge Dart sales really gave us a boost this month as well, more than doubling our February sales.”

Sales Highlights:
For 2013, Chrysler Canada introduced all-new Light-Duty and Heavy-Duty Ram trucks. Canada’s longest lasting line of pickups deliver best-in-class fuel economy, extraordinary technology and outstanding capability in the light duty model, while the heavy duties deliver best-in-class towing, torque and GCWR (Gross Combination Weight Rating). Recently awarded the triple crown of prestigious automotive awards (North American Truck/Utility of the Year, Motor Trend Truck of the Year and Truck of Texas), Ram trucks saw their best sales month ever in March of 2013 with 7,476 units sold - compared with 6,526 sold in the same month of 2012. This represents a 15 per cent increase.

Launched less than a year ago, Dodge Dart experienced its best sales month to date in Canada, with 1,041 units sold. This is more than double the sales recorded one month ago. Dodge Dart is the most technologically advanced car in its class and features mid-size interior room, tons of safety options and customization choices, along with great fuel economy plus a starting price of $15,995 that continues to generate excitement in the Canadian market place.

In addition, our Canadian built Town & Country set an all new monthly sales record. 793 Town & Country sales this month more than doubled the 279 sales of March 2012.
