DaimlerChrysler Earns $3.3B Net Profit Last Year.

[MasterAndCommander]

That sales number is probably cumulative from world-wide sales.

i hope chrysler's new styling doesn't dry up. i love the 300 and the crossfire, i can't believe they released that atrocity known as the aspen. wtf???:|:|:|

The question about Chrylser is how well will the 300C & Charger sell and will they be able to continue their sales momentum for the next few years? Until the Caliber comes along, they don't have a competent small car, and even then I doubt how well the Caliber will do compared to the Mazda3 and Civic.

Also, Chrysler does not have a competent vehicle in the family sedan segment (Accord/Sonata/Camry/Altima). The 300C and Charger aren't really part of this segment as they are a big bigger and more "macho" instead of being a bland practical car (which is the bread & butter for most manufacturers).

I don't think Chrylser can continue to post large profits on the shoulders of the 300C/Charger/Magnum family alone for a long time. Eventually they will lose their "hotness" factor and they will need to fallback on the bread& butter models which they don't currently have.

Probably correct. Although, if they keep releasing uniquely styled Niche autos they could probably do quite well for as long as they do. "Hotness" can be maintained with constant new Products that push Styling and other things into New or Under represented territory.
