  15. A Chrysler Jeep drives past a Chrysler dealership in Los Angeles on October 1, 2009. Chrysler's US sales dropped 42 percent in September but the automaker said it managed to increase its market share from August, when sales fell 15 percent. Chrysler, which temporarily shuttered its factories while it restructured under bankruptcy protection earlier this year, said its sales were hit by low inventory levels on popular models. Overall industry sales were also weak in the wake of the expiration of the popular government-funded 'Cash for Clunkers' program which sparked nearly 700,000 auto sales by offering owners of old gasoline guzzlers up to 4,500 dollars toward a new, more efficient vehicle.
