Here's Why Chrysler's Sales Boom May Not Last
Chrysler
In fact, with more than 849,000 cars sold so far this year, the much-maligned automaker is having its best year in nearly a decade.
Much of this year's sales turnaround can be attributed to the company's Jeep and Ram Truck divisions, whose sales have increased by 49% and 24% respectively.
But can this sales surge last?
Jeep's stellar performance can be traced to the introduction of new products like the Jeep Cherokee and revitalized existing models like the Jeep Wrangler. While, Jeep, as a brand, is likely to grow in the near future, don't expect it to maintain this bullish pace. Sales figures for the controversially styled Cherokee are likely to fall after the initial pool of early adopters and fanboys run dry.

Even more troubling is the all new Dart's inability to outsell its older and now discontinued stablemate, the Dodge Avenger.
The Dart wasn't the only Chrysler product to struggle this year. In fact, Jeep and Ram's success puts into sharp focus the slumping sales of Chrysler Group's entire passenger car line. The company's Chrysler, Dodge, and Fiat brands have seen car sales fall 27% in May and 23% for the year.

While strong demand for the new 200 may be able to cushion some drop in Jeep or Ram sales, it will be difficult for Chrysler Fiat to sustain this level of sales growth consistently. But the company may just surprise us all and continue its hot streak.
