The Fiat brand sold a total of 1,769 cars during October, a 33 percent decline compared to the same month last year. So far this year, Fiat has sold 23,021 cars. This is a 17 percent decline compared to the 27,721 cars sold during the same period last year.
Good news from last month was sales of the 500L MPV were up 34 percent. This is the second month in a row that 500L sales were up. A redesigned and upgraded 500L is expected to arrive at dealeships sometime this fall.
Sales of other Fiat models were not as lucky and all posted numbers less than last year. Hurricane season, the California fires, declining small car sales and one day fewer selling days this October compared to last year all doing their part to keep sales down. Coming up this month, a special, Black Friday Sales event will take place the day after Thanksgiving and is said to offer amazing deals. Hopefully, that will give sales a needed shot in the arm. We will see...
