Here's a look at the Fiat 500 June sales. I'm actually quite impressed with how the 500 is doing since it's a totally new car to most American's & it's the first vehicle that marks the return of Fiat to America and other parts of the world.

I think it's safe to say the Mini Cooper is the Fiat 500's direct competition.
By the looks of things, the Fiat 500 has the potential to sell just as much units as Mini or even more.


June Sales

Fiat 500: 1,803
Mini Cooper: 2,487 (hardtop), 505 (convertible)
Mazda 2: 1,081
Ford Fiesta: 5,535

Whoa, that's a lot higher than I expected... I thought the Mazda 2 would sell far more cars than the 500. Looking GOOD!

(or bad, depending on whether you wanted a really exclusive car...)

After seeing the full USA Today wrap around cover ad, I'm somewhat taken back that I haven't yet seen any other Fiat ad in any medium. I thought that would be the precursor to a media blitz but alas, I've seen nothing.

I'm more surprised at the Fiesta more than anything. I thought it was a slow seller.

LOL ummm, I'd call 3 per dealership a pretty slow seller

those Fiesta figures probably include the sedan and hatch.

 

[MoneyMan]

those are great figures. with the recent intro of the Cabriolet, I can only see them going UP this and next month!

 

[Javi]

OK, so it's not a scorching seller when the top sedans are selling 15-20k units a month, but I thought it was a lot worse for the Fiesta.

Disclaimer: I own stock in Ford so I'm extremely biased

june sales were up only 44 units from may. that was very disappointing. hopefully, july will be much better.

Since Ive seen exactly ZERO advertisements myself, I cant see how we are going to see more than modest per dealer sales gains
