Fiat Punto Number One In Europe

Fiat Punto Number One In Europe 


The new Fiat Punto is Europe’s best selling car, with figures released by industry analysts JATO Dynamics revealing that in February the Italian car maker’s new small car out sold all of its rivals to deliver 32,059 Puntos to new owners across Europe in February.


“Europe is a notoriously difficult market, with very different market demands and requirements across the continent, so a car has to be very good to take the number one slot,” explains Lawrie Malatios, General Manager for Fiat Cars in New Zealand. “The Punto is equally appealing to the British, the French, the Spanish, the Finns and, of course, the Italians for its style, economy, quality and value for money, the same virtues that are driving its sales in New Zealand!”
