Outside North America, sales for the now Cerberus-owned Chrysler LLC’s Jeep brand have grown dramatically by 15 percent with a reported 79,520 units Jeeps sold until October. For October, Chrysler’s International sales were up by 14 percent by selling a total of 19,797 units while the company’s 2007 sales have also increased by 14 percent with 196,626 units sold. October made it to Chrysler’s 29th consecutive month of year-over-year sales increase.

Regions with booming auto markets have given Chrysler greener pastures. The Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East have given Chrysler 17 percent, 25 percent, and 65 percent sales growth respectively in October. Countries like China, Brazil and Russia have contributed largely to this series of company sales growth for the automaker.

“It is important to recognize opportunities outside North America to balance the impact any one region can have on the business,” said Michael Manley, Executive Vice President - International Sales, Marketing and Business Development. “Our focus on growth is not only to increase sales internationally, but also to ensure that the growth is balanced among the Company’s three brands. Our continued focus must be on developing great products that are appropriate for our markets, world-class quality and the development of the most competitive distribution channels.”

With the 15 percent sales increase after selling 79,520 units from the start of the year to date compared to the sales of the same period last year, the Jeep brand claims to be Chrysler’s best selling brand. Jeep models (built with Jeep floor mats) are gaining concrete sales. The new Jeep Wrangler doubled the sales of the previous model and the Grand Cherokee is continuously selling great that it is ranked to be Chrysler’s second selling vehicle of Chrysler beyond the North American market.

“The expanded portfolio for the Jeep brand has resulted in a sales increase of more than 10,000 units so far this year, and established it as the Company’s highest volume brand outside North America,” said Thomas Hausch, Vice President - International Sales. “Replacements for existing models, such as Grand Cherokee and Wrangler have been very well received; and this month in Morocco, we are launching the all-new Jeep Cherokee to International markets, which we believe will help the brand grow its global presence even further. Overall, with 197,000 units sold year to date, we have already surpassed the total calendar year sales for 2005, and Jeep has contributed significantly to this accomplishment.”

This is a beautiful compact SUV type vehicle. It was originally introduced to all in the year 2007. The Jeep Patriot debuted its advertising in the year of 2006 when at the New York Auto Show. The great thing about this jeep is the fact that it is such a wonderful vehicle, it looks good and it is the cheapest type of SUV available in North America. This is strange as it is such an excellent car, but Jeep is just showing how they cater for everybody’s needs and not just the people who have the extra cash. The Jeep Patriot falls between the other two Jeeps, Liberty and Compass.

Sometimes the Compass and the Jeep Patriot are thought to be the same as they are equally based on the GS platform. The way to tell the difference with all these vehicles is by looking at their marketing and styling; the Jeep Patriot is a four door wagon which is rather alike to the Cherokee, which was put to an end in the U.S. the Jeep Compass is more of a sporty kind of vehicle, but it also has a lot more ability when it comes to situations that involve bad weather and rough roads. The Dodge Caliber vehicle, which was also based, like the others, on the GS platform, is said to be of a direct contestant to the Toyota Matrix and that Pontiac Vibe. It is also much loved for being the “little hatchback wagon”.

The Jeep Patriot is not just a pretty engine and gorgeous body, this beauty is also capable on many off-road challenges that include ground clearance, water fording, traction, articulation and maneuverability. In this category, the Freedom Drive II is one of the Jeeps with the most off-road capabilities.

This vehicle would suit a driver that is determined, anxious, wild and fun. Whether it’s a male or female, the Jeep Patriot is available in the following colors; Stone White Clearcoat, Marine Blue Pearlcoat, Jeep Green Metallic Clearcoat, Bright Silver Metallic Clearcoat, Black Clearcoat, Inferno Red Crystal Clearcoat, Light Khaki Metallic Clearcoat and Steel Blue Metallic Clearcoat. So there are many colors for you to choose from and you are guaranteed to find the one that suits you just wonderfully!

Enjoy a fun bundu-bashing weekend with your family in the Jeep Patriot. It can’t perform the full blown off-road capabilities like some of the other Jeeps can, but this is an ideal family car. Perfect to go camping, fishing, day tripping, mountain climbing, hiking and you can even fasten your bicycles to the back of it for when you want to go mountain bike riding. There is so much one can do with a Jeep Patriot, and the fun is just beginning!

Now that you think you are going to purchase one of the coolest cars ever, just remember about safety on the road. You can make a difference by sticking to the speed limit that is provided and wearing your seatbelt. That it, your jobs complete! Oh, and don’t forget to have fun!
