Fiat Dealer Moves to Vauxhall

[icheatatscrabble]

The Fiat dealer (Snows) for the Portsmouth area is no longer selling Fiats. They're now selling Vauxhall. I heard their Southampton branch has stopped selling Fiats too.
With Middleton near Bognor Regis selling up to another dealer a year or so ago, along with dropping the Fiat franchise a year or two before that, it would seem the nearest Fiat dealership is now in Salisbury.

It does make me wonder whether anybody is buying new Fiats anymore in this country? From what I have heard the 500e is nowhere selling like what the previous 500 did and nobody is touching the Abarth 500e. Then there's the 600e, along with the petrol variants and Abarth 600e... Are they selling.
Stellantis must be thinking the new Panda is make or break....

The Opel factory in Poland stopped manufacturing Opels a couple of years ago, they are now making the quintuplets. Including the Ducato and the Movano. I know that the dealers are private companies, but they move from one brand to another depending on the conditions they receive. And within the same group it might be very easy. Perhaps Stellantis thinks he has more chances of gaining market share with the Vauxhall brand than with FIAT in the UK? At the end it's the same company that gets the money...
