   WINDSOR, ON, Dec. 2 /CNW/ - Chrysler Canada today announced sales of
15,560 for the month of November (November 2007: 18,445), with calendar

However our current product line up is well-suited for the Canadian
marketplace and will carry us through this difficult period."

units (2007: 656).
   The Dodge Journey once again held leadership of the Canadian crossover

the Journey unites the best of the compact car, SUV and minivan segments into
an affordable, fuel-efficient package.
   Canada's most popular minivan, the Dodge Grand Caravan, achieved an

For the January through November period, Dodge Grand Caravan has grown sales
