Carmakers usually do not pay much attention to models that are only sold out. But in the USA, one such bestseller is the brand.

Fiat 124 Spider, the sibling of the fourth generation Mazda MX-5, began to disappear from the European market at the end of 2019, when there were also rumors of the end of production. At the end of the model on the old continent were supposed to be (again) emission standards, but at that time the US representation of Fiat still stated that production for the American market would continue. But not much longer.
At the end of last year, Fiat decided to limit the offer of models with an internal combustion engine to the stylish 500X crossover only, which meant the end of the 124 Spider roadster and the more practical Fiat 500L, while the classic 500 was ended overseas a year earlier.

But if you expected the carmaker to stop paying attention to it with the end of the model on the American market, you would be mistaken. According to Carscoops, the stylish roadster has appeared on the Twitter of the US Fiat office five times – and only in the last month.
Even more funny, however, is that the car is still rolling in sales. With a total of 396 units, there was even little missing to be the best-selling Fiat of the last quarter. Officially, the last Fiat 500X scored only 403 units sold.

But looking at sales since the beginning of the year, the executioner is turning. In the first 6 months, Fiat sold 873 pieces of the 124 Spider model overseas, while the more practical 500X crossover sold 668 pieces. So it’s a funny paradox, but it probably won’t last very long.
According to reports from overseas, stocks are getting thinner and the new Fiat 124 Spider will probably not be available for very long. However, the high demand meant that, despite the position of the Spider model, it still did not become too cheap.
