Fiat is bringing its new 500e to the US, and we may have a author who really owns a 500e testing it out on the roads of Miami quickly.

I observe quarterly US auto gross sales by model, and Fiat’s gross sales have been falling for years. They’ve gotten fairly minimal. For a market as large because the US, it virtually doesn’t appear attainable.

So, I figured that we’d get an announcement from Fiat quickly that it’s pulling out of the US market.
