Happened to spot this on Italiaspeed in a generally downbeat story about Fiat's performance in the UK. I know that the loss of the scrappage scheme and the big BSM contract will have had an impact but I'd be interested to know Fiat/Abarth's take on the situation.
"Abarth ended the year on a downwards note, it shifted 87 units in December, compared to 113 units during the final month of 2009, as the Scorpion brand still falls a long way short of achieving viability since its return to the UK. That added up to a year-on-year fall of 23.01 percent, only slightly underperforming the UK market which meant its share remained static on 0.07 percent."
