Fiat brand April sales numbers are in and show a 45 percent decline compared to the same month last year. In April, Fiat sold a total of 1,404 cars compared to 2,539 last year. Sales of all models except for the 500L MPV were down last month, with 500 hatch and Cabrio models particularly having a rough month. Production of these 500 models ended last September and what was once Fiat's best selling model is now scarce at dealers. Production of the 2018 500 has begun and will arrive this summer, meaning the lack of cars will continue until then.
As mentioned, sales of all Fiat models were down except for the 500L MPV. The versatile 500L has enjoyed a sales rally since last August and year-to-date are up 41 percent.

with the rising prices of fuel. we may see a shift towards smaller compact cars again. Here in Canada we are at a record high gas price and pay the highest fuel charge in North America
