comparison - Fiat 500 and Mini, the first 20 months of sales

The Fiat sold 30% more cars than Mini did. 

Fiat's 124 Spider ad follows in the footsteps of the 2014 commercial that showed a 500 getting a blue pill into its gas tank.

Fiat and Chrysler, two name brands that are tanking. Without Jeep and Dodge truck sales, they'd probably be bankrupt

From March of 2015 to March  2016

Sales of the Chrysler 200 mid-size sedan plummeted a stunning 68%

FCA's Chrysler brand fell 13%

Fiat sales declined 24%

But

Jeep brand posted a sales gain of 15%

Four Jeep models, the Cherokee, Compass, Wrangler and Renegade, posted their best March sales month ever.

The April US Auto Sales figures are out.

The bad news - Fiat sales fell 19%,
 Chrysler brand sales dropped 18%, and
Dodge dropped 3% despite a
Grand Caravan sales increase of 116%, and
Durango posting a 17% year-over-year sales gain for its best April since 2005.

Still, Fiat-Chrysler sales overall rose 6% - the company's best April sales level in 11 years.

 This was due to Jeep and Ram sales.
 Jeep rose 17% over April 2015 for its best April sales ever.
 Grand Cherokee sales rose 12%,
Jeep Compass went up 124%, while the
Renegade posted a whopping 131% monthly sales gain.
Ram Truck brand was up 12%, their best April sales since 2005.

One terrific little car dealership, darn shame I'll never get to visit, it's in Monaco

You won't find this on Google Street view though, nothing that even looks like it, this building has recently has a miraculous makeover. To see what it used to look, head to the end of this post

http://www.monacolegendmotors.com/  via an article in http://www.thedrive.com/article/2750/is-this-the-worlds-happiest-car-dealership

and they seem to keep a lot of Multipla in stock

I bet this was the underground parking for the building at one time, maybe a very old car garage where mechanics fixed cars. That paved access to the lower level is real nice and handy
