Chrysler Group LLC was the fastest-growing automaker in California for the second year running, the company announced Monday. And its Fiat brand was the fastest-growing brand in the battleground state, with retail sales up 254 percent in 2012 over 2011.

Overall, Chrysler's retail sales increased by 50 percent in the Golden State in 2012, while total industry sales increased by only 26 percent. Chrysler's registrations in California totaled 77,266 last year.
 
"Looking back on 2012, we were the fastest-growing manufacturer in the state of California, and also one of the fastest-growing automakers in the country," said Chrysler's U.S. sales chief Reid Bigland. "Seven of our vehicles recorded their best ever annual sales in 2012 demonstrating how the quality, design and fuel efficiency of our product line up continues to resonate with consumers."
