European September Car Sales Datapoints
Because the horse and buggy is the new normal car:
- FIAT ITALY NEW CAR SALES FALL 24% IN SEPT
- FRENCH CAR SALES FALL 18.3% IN SEPTEMBER, DOWN 13.9% THROUGH SEPTEMBER
- PORTUGUESE LIGHT VEHICLE SALES DROP 42% THROUGH SEPTEMBER
This is what happens when you don't take advantage of US, Chinese, or for that matter Global channel stuffing. It is, for now, unclear if Mario Draghi's monetization of 1-4 cylinder Fiats is forbidden by Article 123.

Put me down for a donkey.
I bet GDP in Amsterdam is relatively unchanged vs higher oil prices.
Because of the slow down in Italian car sales, the Fiat company has issued paper certificates that are redeemable for a car, the new certificates are called Fiat Fiat.
can we agree that you sell me one of these certificates on date xyz at price zxy - then we would have a Fiat Fiat Derivative.
IN SOVIET AMERICA, CAR DRIVE YOU!
Shouldn't the FED buy all these cars? Maybe we could park them in Alaska or something. If not, why not? I think that would be a great idea.
Ass power. That's like 0,5 hp isn't it?
Go long Italian ass's ?
Just watch out for those hind legs.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFFUZO0_ubU
And how would you like your donkey medium rare or well done?
Imagine that! Fiat bringing down FIAT!
I did not know that it was so bad in Italy that they were making cars out of paper.
Why not? Those won't rust as quickly.
well, the Trabant wasn't made of cardboard?
Fix It Again Tony
Someone still buys a damn Fiat? Who knew?
Every atm on the planet. Costs a buck fifty to buy money now.
...atm? Are you visiting the same porn sites as me?
Now THAT'S in poor taste. Or tastes poor.
I'd say it's probably time fo a cash for clunkers program, but we are talking about a Fiat here. Why would anybody exchange their current clunker for another even shittier clunker? Especially one named after a paper currency?
I'd say it's time to put a huge tombstone on all cash for clunkers programs - which all europeans would be doing right now if they did not have agreed on this pesky Fiscal Pact
btw Fiat in latin means "let be..." in the sense of creation or dream. fitting, eh?
Why drive when you can walk to the dumpster?
The car sales in Italy should be zero. Beautiful weather, breeze from the Adriatic and fashionably dressed Italian women walking down the streets. Why would you wanna drive?
Fiat..the car = down.
Fiat...the currency = BULLISH!
So, car sales dropped and someone would imagine that steel producers will suffer - but not in Europe...
Do you know how much Chinese steel goes into one of those cars? Well, I don't either, but apparently a lot.
Fiat cars.
On a quiet morning you can hear them rust ;o)
Much like the old TR7 which inspired it's own bumper sticker.
ALL PARTS FALLING OFF THIS VEHICLE

"U.S. military to buy Fiat 500's"
Just wait...
Fiat tanks?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiat_M13/40
The only tanks with one forward gear and five reverse gears.
The forward gear was there in case of an enemy attack from the rear...:O)
Right, fiat tanks. Got gold&silver?
which one? the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiat_2000 or the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiat_3000 ?
I'd suggest you take the Fiat 3000, it's sexier
towards a new dark age..
we go backwards from here.
You forgot to add "bicentennially adjusted figures" since annual makes no sense when trying to hide the truth
Everybody is saving up to buy a GM Volt....
Mine comes with 3 fire extinguishers, standard.
Note from Daddy Bernanke to Dragi..."What the hell are you doing? Print 1/2 trillion Euros you idot! I am keeping this world economy from falling off the cliff and what the fuck are you doing? You're killing me!"
Obummer will walk across the Atlantic ,and save them.

To my surprise I was pretty close to the mark when I read the article ;)
Bullish for moneycopters!

Ehh - they make Fiat 500s in Poland now.
They need to buy large parts of Jersey, and ship forty million Fiats there - it will be the ultimate act of Channel (islands) stuffing.
ECU must come in and guarantee six year lease financing of customers w a 420+ FICO score so this sturdy little car made be made immediately available to the masses. Dealer inventories loans up to one years supply should also be supported by ECU immediately with no trade- in restrictions. Follow Amerika's road Forward to success. Foward!
