The company was founded on the June 6th 1925 in Auburn Hills, Michigan by Walter P. Chrysler, when he rationalised the Maxwell Motor Company into becoming the Chrysler Corporation. Chrysler grew to become America's number three automobile manufacturer, and it is now the largest privately owned car producer in North America.

Now majority owned by Cerberus Capital Management, with Mercedes-Benz parent, Daimler AG holding a 19.9 percent stake, the company continues to grow in strength with sales rising not only across the Pond but in Europe and elsewhere too.

If the name Chrysler conjures up images of thirsty gas guzzlers you'd better think again. If you are on the lookout for something that's a bit different from the usual offering from European manufacturers, you should consider Chrysler. You'll gain with a good slice of American style at a value for money price.

Chrysler's current range, which covers most aspects of the market, has proved to be popular in this country, selling strongly to a rising band of avid owners. The new models arriving on a seemingly regular basis can only assist in strengthening this view. Add to this the legendary standing of the Chrysler brand name across the world and the manufacturer is ready to build upon its already flourishing reintroduction into Europe's extremely competitive new car market.
