Fiat Sales for August 2016

Fiat 500C Cabrio

Fiat sold 2,732 cars last month, nearly matching the previous month's 2,754 cars, but still off from last year's pace. Fiat sales for August 2016 were down 21 % compared to the same month last year, and year-to-date sales are down an average of 17 - 18 % compared to last year.

Last month Fiat sold a total of 1,243 500 hatchbacks, up 13 %from the month before. The Fiat 124 Spider recorded 460 sales in August, down from the 480 sold in July. A lack of manual transmissions in certain parts of the country may be playing a significant role in that.

The first shipment of production 124 Spider Abarths is about to hit the shore within the coming week, so look to see the hottest version of the Fiat Spider to show up at Fiat Studios later this month. Also expect the model range to get filled out. Make sure you get to your dealer and put your deposits down, especially as there is a Labor Day Sale this weekend!

Also, speaking of new cars, 2017 will bring a major shakeup in the Fiat lineup, and we will have news of this up shortly.
