Chrysler and Fiat, joined by a recent merger say the combined entity will sell 6 million units worldwide in 2014.

The US division of Chrysler helped by making a step in the right direction.

Chrysler’s sales rose 45 percent from November a year earlier to 107,172. Sales of the Jeep Compass SUV moved higher by 10X. Jeep brand sales doubled. Sales of Chrysler brand vehicles were double.
