Chrysler's Plans To Double Sales By 2018- See What They Have Been Planning

If you were like most of us you had given up hope for Chrysler as it faced the second bailout in the brand's seesaw history. But salvation came not only in the form of a US bailout but leadership from another unlikely source, Fiat. The leadership and forward thinking of Fiat was just what it took to turn the company around and just a few short years later we see a new Chrysler.

Now the question is how do you grow when you only offer 3 models?

A new compact sedan labeled the 100 rolls out in 2016

A full-sized crossover in 2017

A mid-sized crossover in 2018.

The Chrysler Town & Country minivan will be redesigned in

Fiat Chrysler also debut a new plug-in hybrid version of the Town & Country and a plug-in crossover in 2017.

Chrysler's ambitious plan is to grow from its 2013 level of 350,000 sales to 800,000 units in 2018.

As long as Fiat/Chrysler is dreaming the impossible dream, why not dream of 3X sales gains?

Sick man amongst US car makers teaming up with Sick man of European car makers - I, personally, doubt they will make any inroads on the likes of Toyota, Honda, VW or Ford. Chrysler and Fiat are known for their small volume iconic cars, not the main stream segment mentioned above. They are not known for their technology, R&D, alternative hybrid/diesel/electricity. They're more associated with poor reliability. Fiat doesn't have the historical brand awareness in the US, and Chrysler has zero brand awareness outside of US and Canada. God bless this marriage.
