The YTD sales aren't too bad. I wonder how many they thought they would sell.

2000--see my other post

I'm surprised they projected that many sales. I can see why they are disappointed in the numbers. If they need to sell that many, the Viper program is moribund.

"We're really looking at the reality of this type of car in this economy, as well as us controlling the market and making sure that we don't overbuild," Gilles said. The company built 805 Vipers during the 2013 model year, and has switched over to producing 2014 models now.

"Gilles said that interest in the Viper remains strong, and that Chrysler received 2,000 dealer and customer orders for Vipers during 2013, including those for 2014 models.

Dealers were asked to pay a $25,000 fee and undergo special training in order to sell the Viper to retail customers.

In eight months on the market -- Viper's first sale was recorded in February -- Chrysler dealers have only sold 426 Vipers in the United States, and dealers have another 565 unsold units in stock -- a 289-day supply.Outside of the United States, the Viper is sold only in a handful of countries in the Middle East."

If that 289 days of supply figure is legit, Viper is toast. I'm thinking that has to be incorrectly calculated.

Put it this way-- it is so bad that they are pushing test drives.

The less experience the better? Maybe they aren't self-insured. :lol

That's too bad. I feel sorry for the guys behind the Viper program.
