					Fiat 
						Group Automobiles South Africa (Pty.) Ltd. finished 2012 
						with sales in December of 392 units across the Fiat, 
						Alfa Romeo, Abarth and Fiat Professional model ranges. 
						 
						December sales closed off the 2012 year for the Italian 
						brands with a total of 4,921 units sold for the year, 
						compared to 4,202 for 2011. The 17 percent increase in 
						sales, claims FGA South Africa, has come as a result of 
						changes to the retail network as well as consolidation 
						within the Chrysler and Fiat Group business operations 
						locally. 
						 
						The Fiat Group’s December sales highlights for the South 
						African market include the Fiat Punto with 58 percent 
						sales increase versus November, Fiat Doblò Cargo Van 
						with 111 percent and Alfa Romeo 159 sales from final 
						stocks remaining strong at 63 percent increase versus 
						November although FGA South Africa doesn't break down 
						the actually volumes. 
						 
						This year will see the launch of several new Fiat Group 
						vehicles in South Africa starting with the Fiat Qubo 
						next month, the new third-generation Fiat Panda in April 
						as well as enhancements to the existing Alfa Romeo range 
						during the course of the year. FGA South Africa also 
						hopes to launch the production Alfa Romeo 4C sports car 
						towards the end of the year.
