FIAT Brand –
With one vehicle left in its lineup (500X), the rest of the lineup was discontinued from the United States marketplace after 2020. This means 1 500, 1 500L, and 5 124 Spiders were sold during the Q1 period. Unfortunately, the sales of the Italian brand in the American marketplace are under 400 units. It is safe to say that until FIAT introduces some new product, the FIAT experiment has failed in the United States.
