Unfortunately those lease deals end July 1st, which is why for the first time in 2 years Chrysler Canada did not post year-over-year sales growth.

It's amazing how well Chrysler does in Canada.
In my opinion Chrysler has the most aggressive dealer network in Canada and are particularily strong in Western Canda. The competition in urban centers is absolutely fierce. I think Toyota is actually under-dealered (at least here in the west) and has room for growth in it's dealer network.
