In case you haven't noticed - the 2007 Wrangler is a sales hit. Compared with November 05, sales of the Wrangler almost doubled to just under 9,000 units. Whether this is due more to pent-up demand for the new Wrangler (probably) or reaction to the great reviews, it doesn't really matter. In the meantime, Liberty sales were flat, while Grand Cherokee sales dropped over 40%. The Commander also posted a nice gain over November 05, its sales more than doubled (to be fair, Commander production was still ramping up this time last year).
Here's a quote from the Chrysler Group press release:Sales of the Jeep Wrangler, a direct descendant of the original Jeep vehicle, rose 95 percent to 8,735 units, setting a new November sales record. Previous year sales of the Jeep Wrangler totaled 4,482 units. The Jeep Wrangler has received in excess of 62,000 dealer orders, which exceeds three- quarters of total Jeep Wrangler sales in calendar year 2005. Full Jeep sales numbers after the jump.
