Chrysler Group Announces June 2007 U.S. Sales and International Sales Highlights

- Chrysler Group car sales rise 55 percent fueled by "Maximize Your Miles" program

- Jeep(R) brand up 19 percent

- Jeep Wrangler increases 93 percent

- Dodge Charger gains 19 percent

- Inventory down by 25 percent or 162,266 units

- Sales outside of North America up 21 percent -- highest month ever

Chrysler Group reported sales for June 2007 of 183,347 units; down 1 percent compared to June 2006 with 185,946 units. All sales figures are reported unadjusted.

"In a challenging market, Chrysler Group had softer sales in June than a year ago. We saw strong customer interest in our newly launched, fuel efficient models," said Darryl Jackson, Vice President - U.S. Sales. "Supported by the fuel economy message of our 'Maximize Your Miles' program, Chrysler continued to show strong car sales with an increase of 55 percent over the previous year."

Chrysler brand car sales in June were up 104 percent year-over-year, while Dodge brand car sales increased 30 percent. Chrysler Group's offerings in the car segment include the Chrysler Sebring Sedan and Sebring Convertible, the Chrysler 300, the Dodge Avenger, Dodge Caliber and Dodge Charger.

Jeep brand sales continued to increase in June and posted a gain of 19 percent over the previous year. This result was again driven by the continuously strong Jeep Wrangler and Jeep Patriot. Jeep Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited posted sales of 10,952 units, up 93 percent compared to June 2006 with 5,674 units. The Jeep Patriot also kept its momentum and finished June with sales of 4,633 units, up 3 percent from May 2007. The vehicle is one of Chrysler Group's recently introduced models that achieve 30 miles per gallon or better in highway driving. In addition, the Jeep Grand Cherokee also posted a gain of 3 percent year-over-year.

The Chrysler Sebring Convertible finished the month with sales of 3,759 units which is 22 percent over May 2007. The recently launched redesigned model offers what no other convertible has offered before - three automatically latching convertible top options: vinyl, cloth and a body-color painted steel retractable hard top, all of which can be retracted with a push of a button on the key fob.

Sales of the Dodge Charger increased in June by 19 percent with 11,529 units compared to 9,710 units in the previous year.

"As our strong car sales in May and June demonstrate, our 'Maximize Your Miles' program resonated well with customers," said Michael Keegan, Vice President - Volume Planning and Sales Operations. "Moving forward, Chrysler Group will extend its low-rate financing plus additional bonus cash in July, with a 0% APR offering for 60 months on select models. These great value packages were successful in the recent months as well."

Chrysler Group finished the month with 485,429 units of inventory, or a 71-day supply. Inventory is down by 25 percent compared to June 2006 when it was at 647,695 units.

Posting its highest month ever of sales outside of North America and sustaining 25 consecutive months of year-over-year sales gains; Chrysler Group's International monthly sales increased 21 percent to 22,901 units in June 2007 compared to 18,971 units in June 2006.

"The strength of our new product portfolio coupled with the support of our dealer network outside North America is driving the growth we have seen so far this year," said Thomas Hausch - Vice President of International Sales. "We expect to maintain the double digit growth this year, including record export numbers, and continue to strategically grow production volumes and sales outlets outside North America for all three brands."

Ford Retail Sales 'Edge' Higher in June as New, Redesigned Crossovers Soar

- Ford, Lincoln and Mercury posted combined retail sales increase in June - the first such increase since October 2006.

- Combined crossover sales increased 83 percent, driven by strong demand for all-new Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX, and redesigned Ford Escape and Mercury Mariner.

- Lincoln registers ninth month in a row of higher retail sales.

- All-new Ford Expedition gains for the tenth month in a row.

- Land Rover sales rose 8 percent, reflecting all-new LR2.

- Total sales were 247,599, down 8 percent from a year ago reflecting 39 percent reduction in daily rental sales.

-- Soaring demand for new and redesigned crossover vehicles, including the all-new Ford Edge, "edged" Ford, Lincoln and Mercury retail sales to their first combined increase since October 2006.

Edge sales were 12,470 and Lincoln MKX sales were 3,400. Edge was recognized as the industry's top performing new vehicle in J.D. Power and Associates' 2007 Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout Study TM (APEAL).

"These new crossovers are proof we are building more products people want to buy," said Mark Fields, Ford's President of the Americas. "The Edge and Lincoln MKX and other new and redesigned products are helping us to stabilize our retail market share, a key goal in our plan to return to profitability in North America."

The redesigned 2008 model Ford Escape and Mercury Mariner crossovers set sales records in June, with Escape sales reaching 19,147, up 33 percent from a year ago, and Mariner sales totaling 3,788, up 97 percent. In addition, the Escape and Mariner hybrid models set June sales records, with Escape hybrid sales of 2,192 and Mariner hybrid sales of 334.

In total, Ford, Lincoln and Mercury crossovers were up 83 percent compared with a year ago as the company continues to achieve the largest sales increase in the industry's fastest-growing segment.

Other new and redesigned products contributed to Ford's strong retail performance in June. Retail sales for the Ford Expedition were higher than a year ago, the full-size sport utility vehicle's tenth consecutive month of sales increases.

June sales of Ford's F-Series, America's best-selling truck, were essentially flat compared with a year ago, while sales of the Ford Focus small car climbed 20 percent. A redesigned Ford Focus will debut later this year.

The Lincoln brand posted its ninth month in a row of higher retail sales. June sales were 30 percent higher than a year ago. In the first six months of 2007, Lincoln sales were 15 percent higher than the same period a year ago. Lincoln's rebound reflects the new Lincoln MKX crossover, the new Lincoln MKZ sedan (up 38 percent in June), and the redesigned Navigator.

Land Rover dealers reported an 8 percent sales increase in June, reflecting the addition of the all-new LR2 crossover.

The company's total sales (including sales to fleet customers) were 247,599, down 8 percent. The decline in total sales reflected a planned reduction in sales to daily rental companies. Daily rental sales were down 39 percent (22,000 units) compared with a year ago. In the first half, sales to daily rental companies were 89,000 units lower than a year ago (down 30 percent).

DaimlerChrysler AG Reports 2 Percent Decrease in U.S. Sales for Passenger Vehicles for June 2007

Chrysler Group Reports Sales of 183,347 Vehicles, a 1 Percent Decrease for June 2007

Mercedes-Benz USA Reports Sales of 19,589 Vehicles, a 6 Percent Decrease for June 2007

DaimlerChrysler AG (NYSE:DCX) , the third largest U.S. auto maker, today reported total group sales of 202,936 passenger vehicles in the U.S. for June 2007, a 2 percent decrease compared to June 2006. All sales figures in this release are on an unadjusted basis unless otherwise noted.

Chrysler Group, consisting of the Chrysler, Jeep(R) and Dodge brands, posted sales of 183,347 vehicles in the U.S., a 1 percent decline in June. Spurred by the "Maximize Your Miles" ad campaign which highlights the fuel efficiency of its new cars and small SUVs; Chrysler Group combined car sales increased 55 percent for the month. In addition, led by the sales momentum of the Jeep Wrangler, total Jeep brand sales rose 19 percent in June. Following its most aggressive product launch in company history of 10 all-new vehicles in 2006, Chrysler Group continues its product offensive with the launch of eight all-new vehicles in 2007.

MBUSA's sales highlights for the month include gains from the entry-level of the Mercedes portfolio, the C-Class, to its high-end CL-Class. Compared to June of last year, C-Class sedans posted a 12 percent increase (4,776 vs. 4,250 units), and CL-Class coupes recorded a 322 percent jump (266 vs. 63 units). Year-to-date, MBUSA recorded its best first-half of the year ever with 118,240 units sold in the first six months of the year, a 3 percent increase over the same period last year.

Detailed vehicle sales information for MBUSA and Chrysler Group will be announced later today in separate press releases issued by the groups. June 2007 had 27 selling days and June 2006 had 26 selling days.
