Future's So Bright, We Gotta Wear ... by Mike Driehorst September 13, 2012 11:23 AM If you haven't heard yet, Chrysler Group had a private, confidential dealer announcement show this week where we let our business partners in on our plans for the next couple years or so. (Or, at least we tried to have a private, confidential show.) As you can see below, we talked with a handful of dealers, and, collectively, we're excited about the prospects of the recent, positive, successful momentum not letting up.
