The Fiat that brought the brand back to America is going away after this year. All forms of the 2019 Fiat 500 — hatchback and convertible — are being discontinued with the current 2019 inventory being sold off through 2020. This includes the electric, standard turbo and the Abarth iterations. Once the little 500 is gone, Fiat's lineup will consist of the 500X crossover124 Spider sports car and the 500L micro-minivan thing.

The Fiat brand as a whole should be cancelled in the U.S. This may be the first step. 


It most likely is. The 500 was the best seller, so anything left certainly can’t maintain a dealership. This is “starving” dealers for sales until they eventually close up or switch to some other manufacturer. Gets around franchise laws.

I do seem to see a fair amount of Alfa’s though. Are they all sold from the same dealership?

 

Yes and no. Depends on the particular dealership.

 

For example, Fiat of Fort Worth is paired with Alfa-Romeo.

But Classic Fiat in Arlington, TX is paired with Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram.
