Still the sales have only been going down.

It's tough selling small cars in the States after 4 years of relatively cheap gas.
yup, same problem James May said the Fiat 500 had when he reviewed its relaunch on TopGear. He just called it a fashion accessory.

But this is good for people who want to buy one now as they are just throwing in extras and a more appealing design.
