rmc523 Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 How the fuck do they still have 10 Avengers floating around? Didn't they kill that like 4 years ago? I was thinking the same exact thing. I thought we were finally going to see it drop off the sales charts soon, but this means it'll have to be on there for another year at least. Giulia is selling well enough for what it is! I saw one of the Quadrafoligio (however you spell it) models last week....looked pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atomcat68 Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 The Stelvio should be their big seller when it gets going. That should make Alfa a bigger brand that Fiat. But they will never hit the target they predicted, and I doubt they will ever get the chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
630land Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 (edited) Those 10 Avengers had to be dealer loaner cars that were never titled. They will sell the last 2017 Chrysler 200 in 2020. Edited August 2, 2017 by 630land 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
