DETROIT: Chrysler Group LLC says its October sales fell 30 percent below the same month last year. But they improved from September when the U.S. auto industry had a hangover from the government's summertime Cash for Clunkers program.
The maker of the Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram truck brands says it sold 65,803 vehicles last month, up 6 percent from September.
Chrysler, which is announcing a new product strategy on Wednesday, is aiming to show steady improvement from month to month as the U.S. economy starts to emerge from its yearlong slump. The automaker's sales dropped 42 percent in September following the end of hefty clunker rebates.
Ford Motor Co., meanwhile, reported a 3 percent rise in monthly sales over October of last year.

New product strategy?
Same old stuff. What they should do is what Ford did. Bring back the Classics. Ford sold lots and lots of retro-look Mustangs. I'm sure the Chyrsler catalog form 1965-1975 has many designs people would enjoy today.

Chrysler was one of the first to bring back the classics with the Prowler and PT Cruiser. It was to little to late. Nobody wants to buy a vehicle from a bankrupt company that changes owners every couple of years. Chrysler may as well fold their tent before they lose any more money.
