Jim Holden Chrysler Quotations

Based on the strength of the product we've got there now, we expect to set a full-year record within the Chrysler brands and should gain market share as we go forward, ... It's pretty clear at this point that 1999 calendar year will be a record automotive year in the U.S.

Chrysler has great momentum right now that we intend to keep going. As we move forward with our global growth strategy, Plymouth, as a U.S. brand only, did not contribute to that growth. This was an emotional decision because Plymouth will always be an important part of our heritage.

The PT Cruiser will take the Chrysler brand to the next level in Europe, where it is already sold out for the first-year allocation. In addition, this incremental gain in production volume will allow more PT Cruisers to be sold in the North American market.
