Group, which consists of the Chrysler, Jeep(R) and Dodge brands,
posted sales of 187,085 vehicles in the U.S., an increase of 5
percent. Adjusted for one more selling day in August 2005 compared
to August 2004, sales rose 1 percent. After launching a record nine
new models in 2004, the Chrysler Group is launching several new
models in 2005, including the all-new 2006 Jeep Commander. Starting
today, the company began selling the all-new 2006 Dodge Ram Mega
Cab, which has the most interior room of any pickup in the market.
Mercedes-Benz USA (MBUSA) posted sales of 19,267, a 7 percent
increase compared to the same month last year and the best August
sales in its history. In August, the all-new 2006 M-Class, built in
Vance, Alabama, continued its strong momentum in the market.
Arriving at dealerships this fall, the R-Class, which represents a
new segment Mercedes calls the Grand Sports Tourer segment, will
join the M-Class and double the company's penetration in the
fast-growing luxury light truck market. These models will further
expand MBUSA's position as offering the widest product portfolio in
the luxury vehicle market and the company expects yet another
record year. Detailed vehicle sales information for MBUSA and
Chrysler Group will be announced later today in separate press
releases issued by the groups. August 2005 had 26 selling days
while August 2004 had 25 selling days. DaimlerChrysler AG U.S.
