Registrations were down 6% in January. The good news for locals was that Fiat's market share of 11.9% was higher than the last two complete years. We await to see if it is sustainable.
Dacia reached its highest penetration ever at 8.6%. Regular readers will know I'm all for a value product so good to see one with essential features but not excess ones.
VW hit its lowest share since 2009 when Fiat had just over a quarter of the market. At least the VW Group can take heart knowing Audi reached an all time high at 5.1%.
Italy has some local brands with Chinese connections in the form of DR Motors, Evo, EMC and Sportequipe.
