FIAT brand –
With one vehicle remaining in its lineup (500X), the rest of the lineup was phased out of the US market after 2020. This means 1,500, 1,500L and 5,124 Spiders were sold in the first quarter. Unfortunately, the sales of the Italian brand in the American market are less than 400 units. It’s safe to say that until FIAT introduces a new product, the FIAT experiment failed in the United States.
