Fiat sold just 33 copies of its larger 500L in the United States in August 2014 as the Chrysler Group/FCA said the Fiat brand's 20% decline was, "due to a Fiat 500L recall affecting an estimated 29,500 vehicles in the U.S. and Canada." Sales of the non-L 500 were up 12% to 3329 units in August.
• U.S. Vehicle Sales Rankings By Model - August 2014 YTD
Among vehicles which generated sales in August, only the defunct Chevrolet Avalanche and cancelled Volvo C70 produced more drastic year-over-year declines than the 500L.
In terms of volume alone, the 500L ranked 13th among the lowest-volume vehicles in America, one spot ahead (behind?) the Dodge Viper. New to the list this month is the just-on-sale BMW i8, which certainly has the price tag, though not the desirability quotient, to remain among America's lowest-volume vehicles for the foreseeable future.
Porsche reported 15 918 Spyder sales in August, Audi sold 50 R8s, and Mercedes-Benz sold 26 copies of the slowly-dying SLS AMG.
