Old Chrylser, made of the assets that remain in U.S. Bankruptcy Court -- lost $10.2 billion in June, according to an unaudited financial report filed Friday.
The size of the loss reflected the sale of the automaker's most-viable assets to Chrysler Group LLC, the new company created in the government-backed sale to investors led by Fiat.
