Fiat 500 April 2013 Sales

New Fiat 500 Abarth Cabrio


The Fiat 500 racked up 3,899 sales last month, continuing a 14 month sales growth record for year-over-year sales gains. April 2013 sales were up 2 percent over last March and 1 percent over last year's April sales - just enough to keep the record going. Fiat 500 Abarth sales were particularly strong and posted a 22 percent increase compared to last April. This brings the year to date total of Fiat 500 models sold in the US to 13,511, up 6 percent over the same period last year.

Records notwithstanding, the numbers show that an influx of new models into Fiat Studios will come right in time to bump up sales momentum. The new Fiat 500 Abarth Cabrio, already hitting dealer lots and the upcoming Fiat 500L MPV, due this summer, should do the trick.

Taking a look back in April, Tim Kuniskis, the head of Fiat USA moves on to the Dodge brand and is replaced by Jason Stoicevich. Kuniskis took over Fiat USA in November 2011 and presided over 14 straight months of sales growth during his tenure, ultimately doubling Fiat sales from 25,161 in 2011 to 52,246 in 2012. Stoicevich, who is also the Head of the California Business Center, has a record of achieving outstanding results and helped Californian Fiat Studios record a 254 percent sales increase in 2012 versus 2011.
