To be expected that Fiat brand would continue it's demise into nothing. I would not be surprised to see them closing dealerships by 2020. No body with a common sense brain buys Fiat crap. Dodge dropped sales to be expected too. Surprised at the increase in Journey sales. Everything else as I expected.
