Sales numbers for February were recently released and - get ready for it - the numbers actually so some improvement. Don't get me wrong, they're still in the toilet, but they just might be floating a little bit higher.
The big news is that Chrysler increased its U.S. market share by about 1.5% to 11%. The market share came mostly at the expense of GM.
The big news for the Jeep brand is that Wrangler sales are up a full 28% compared to February, 2008.
