Ironic considering an article in this morning's paper said overall automibile sales were flat for the month of July! I guess the only thing selling were Jeeps! Good to see Jeep is a significant contributor to the improvement of our economy!
 
from what I understand, Toyota took a bit of a hit after the earthquake, and the American auto makers have gotten a boost.

Well, to be fair, those American Manufacturers who don't rely heavily on Japanese parts got a boost! So, Chrysler probably faired better than most because their alliances are more European (France/Germany) than Japanese!
 

Jeeps are truely and American Icon. Hopefully Americans will continue the slow progression of back to buying American Products. These numbers are a positive sign of that.
Thanks for that information.
