Sales of the Windsor made Chrysler Pacifica fall dramatically in April

The April sales figures from Fiat Chrysler Automobiles Canada will be little comfort to Windsor workers.

Salse of the Windsor-built Pacifica are down 70 per cent compared to April of 2018.

Year-to-date sales are little better with 63 per cent fewer Pacificas sold than in the first four months of last year.

The sales picture for the Dodge Grand Caravan was better, but just barely.

April sales were down 56 per cent from the same month a year earlier and year-to-date-sales have fallen 28 per cent.

Strong sales of the Ram pickup trucks and some Jeep models have helped overall with monthly and year-to-date sales off around 10 per cent.
