Fiat 500 & Panda Sell like Hotcakes in UK and Europe

Cars that sell oh-so-slowly in Australia, sell like hotcakes in Europe. Fiat’s 500 and Panda, are Europe’s most popular city cars, have a market share of 35.6%, which is up 3%, believe it or not.

Fiat Chrysler joined the Peugeot Citroen group to form Stellantis in a 13 brand mega-giant, but not all brands will survive. Fiat looks to remain, in Europe at least.
