Sales up 19,788 this year

Chrysler is looking like a "comeback of the year" contender, with overall sales up 10 percent so far this year, compared with 2009. The Dodge Charger is leading the way, with sales of 58,000 this year, up nearly 20,000 from last year's pace. And the company has other strong sellers as well. As the smallest of America's Big Three, a company that needed both a government bailout and a European partner (Fiat), Chrysler can rejoice in the good news.
