Chrysler Group LLC posted a net profit of $473 million for the first three months of 2012 Thursday — more than four times as much as the company made during the same period a year ago.
Net revenue for January, February and March was up 25 percent to $16.4 billion as Chrysler's global sales increased 33 percent to 523,000 units and it gained two whole points of share in the critical U.S. market.
