But Marchionne said the huge miss of the sales target was not a problem. He said he chose the original sales target hoping to beat the 45,644 cars sold of the popular Mini Cooper, sold in 2010.

At least he's honest. I think the marketing has a bit to do with it. J.Lo didn't help it. The car could've been a bit more aggressive but its not a bad start.

Incredibly naive....yeah, thats about right. Its a vehicle that DESPERATELY needs a redesign to compete in America. Still though, selling as many as it did, I think Fiat did pretty damn good.

Yeh. Also consider it is only n limited markets makes it even better. In the end I think this will end up being a success.
The best there was and the best there ever will be. |

20,000 sold is still excellent for such a niche vehicle!

J lo
“The build sheet is the wish list of any racer: lightweight high-revving dry-sump LS7 engine; carbon-ceramic brakes; integrated coolers; true aerodynamic downforce, and a significant reduction in curb weight. This car could only come from Chevrolet, and could only be called the Z/28.” |

They should of brought more than just the 500 over if they wanted to really sell
I love how Mini's handle and judging by the shape and reviews, it ain't gonna touch Mini's in any major way. Shame they didn't get a slather of Italian cars over, what were they thinking when they decided to say "Let's go after Mini crowd w/the 500" The Jeresy Devil ![[Image: FIREdevil.gif]](http://s1.e46fanatics.com/forum/images/smilies/FIREdevil.gif)
