"The consistent results this quarter and our rise in monthly retail sales showcase the appeal of our segment leading products," said Gary Dilts, Chrysler Group Senior Vice President - Sales.

"The Chrysler 300 has reignited America's passion for cars," said Dilts. "The award of 'Best Sedan' by the readers of Autoweek magazine for the Chrysler 300C confirms what we already knew -- that this is a great car."

"Our retail sales increase for the Dodge brand is driven by Caravan, Durango and now, Magnum sales," said Dilts.

The new shape of American muscle, Dodge Magnum, is arriving at dealerships daily with the legendary Hemi(R) V-8 engine and rear-wheel drive. Anticipation for the arrival of the Magnum is high, with dealer orders for the vehicle exceeding 38,000 units.

"The major economic indicators are hitting all cylinders now," said Dilts. "The economy is gaining momentum, consumer confidence is at its highest levels since June 2002, while the employment picture looks solid. Plus, we've got the right products at the right time."
