Automotive-savvy consumers and even Chrysler fans know that FIAT has been on the U.S. market for a couple of short years now. During its first year, the Italian brand didn't quite kick off sales at the start. However, it seems as if the car company can't produce vehicles fast enough for FIAT shoppers.

Consumers searching for FIAT cars near Chicago will be impressed to learn that 2012 has turned out to be a successful sales year so far, and our sales team members here at Fields FIAT of Highland Park couldn't be more proud. For example, FIAT sold over 4,000 FIAT models in May - over twice as many as the same time last year. During the first five months of the year, the automaker sold a total of 16,702 units.

What is most impressive about this year's FIAT sales is that the 2012 FIAT 500 Abarth sold out in a mere six weeks. That's right - sold out in a month and a half, less than two months, etc. Whichever way you look at it, it says one thing - FIAT is selling like hot cakes. And just to make FIAT car shoppers and fans yearn for more, the car company doesn't plan to produce more for us to drool over. However, we can look forward to next year's model to make its way to our showroom and lots soon.
