Moving right along with the 300!

Will they be able to continue with this success? How come this did not make the Forbes list?

I like the RWD cars that DCX is offering, but living up North where the snow and ice are abundent in the winter, I wouldn't give a nickel for a RWD car.

they should keep doing well, they are nice cars. they may need some periodic updating. i'm wondering what sort of facelift is going to work on them? sort of a unique look already, it will probably be tough to follow up.

Isn't there another article in these forums that says DCX's fleet sales have ballooned to 43%.

 

I wonder how much of that is 300 sales?

I think you meant 34%...that's what the article said. If the 300's fleet sales are similar to

what they were a couple of months ago, they should account for 25-30% of total 300 sales, from

what I can remember. Still pretty impressive sales, though.

Ya but a third not really being SOLD impresses you exactly why?

 

DCX is a one trick pony with a third of its success just fluff, so WTF?

One-third of the 300s currently being sold to rental fleets doesn't impress me. The

fact that the 300 has sold 300,000 overall since '04 has impressed me (and I would be willing to

bet that less than a third of overall 300 sales since '04 are not fleet, though that will change as 300s

are dumped further into rental lots). Basically, I expected the 300 to bomb sales-wise when it debuted, so the fact that it took off at all shocked me.

 

On the other hand, I agree that DCX is a one trick pony (outside of minivans, and arguably the Ram

post-1994)

 

EDIT: My last post wasn't very clear...hope this explains my point

I don't know. 300,000 sales in 25 months doesn't sound like they're setting the world on fire. Don't get me wrong, it's not bad just no worthing of a lot of praise, especially considering the percentage going to fleets.

I agree...works out to about 150K units every 12 months...
