Chrysler Brand Expansion

With the introduction of Chrysler Pacifica and Crossfire, the Chrysler brand continues to build momentum. Chrysler brand sales have nearly quadrupled to 481,000 units in 2002 from 130,542 units in 1991.

"Without question, Pacifica and Crossfire mark a pivotal time in the 80-year history of the Chrysler brand," said Marinelli. "With a complete lineup of head-turning vehicles, our showrooms have never looked better. With the addition of Pacifica and Crossfire, Chrysler will now have some of the most appealing vehicles under one roof."

Chrysler Pacifica will be built at DaimlerChrysler's Windsor Assembly Plant (Canada). Chrysler Crossfire will be built in Osnabrueck, Germany and arrive mid-summer of 2003. Crossfire pricing will be announced at a later date.
