Fiat 500 sales in October were up 8 % last month compared to the same month a year ago. This is the first month this year the 500 recorded a net gain over monthly sales from last year and some needed good news.
An interesting bit of trivia is October 2016 had two fewer selling days than October 2015, so if we factor that into the comparison, Fiat 500 sales were up 14%.
Still, Overall Fiat brand sales for October were down 24 percent compared to the same month a year ago, with the 500L and 500X sales being down 59 and 61 percent respectively.
Sales of the Fiat 124 Spider held firmly at the same 400 plus level it has been averaging since its introduction.
