Just read the following article on AllPar which talks about how well the all new Jeep Renegade is selling in Europe. Of course, I think most of us never had any doubts that it would be a hot seller - I just wish FCA would allow it to be a hot seller here in the U.S. as well. Oh well, guess we'll just have to sit back and wait... even longer Renegade powers Jeep surge in Europe Jeep sales soared in Europe last month, rising 182% to 6,320 units as buyers snapped up the Italian-built Renegade. The newest Jeep model has found the sweet spot in the European CUV/SUV market. In January, the Renegade accounted for 56.5% of all new Jeep deliveries with 3,307 units. According to FCA, Renegade sales were just under 4,000 in February. Year-to-date (YTD) sales of Jeep brand vehicles were up 173.8% for the first two months of 2015. Both monthly and YTD growth rates easily beat those of all other brands reported by the ACEA, the European automobile manufacturers’ association. Jeep’s market share more than doubled from 0.3% last year to 0.7% last month. The increase in Jeep sales helped Fiat Chrysler Automobiles blow past both Ford and General Motors in February and outpace growth in the overall European market. It wasn’t quite enough to keep pace with the growth in the Italian market, the third-largest in the European Union.
