Well, bugger.
Can't say I'm surprised though. In my opinion, lack of a 'proper' auto was only part of the problem.
Fairly ambitious pricing and lack of model awareness really didn't help either.
It's a real shame; they're a bloody brilliant little car that no one knows about.

According to the article, they were still selling 2013-built cars in April 2015.

Yeah, there's actually still a few '13 demonstrators listed on the internet.
Does this mean that Australian Pandas now have 'Unicorn' status?
That's a shame. But you will now be assured of exclusivity!

"By June 2014 Fiat dealers had slashed prices on Panda Easy manual to almost half price at less than $12,000 drive-away. By April this year, the remaining 2013-build Pandas were being sold for as little as $10,000 drive-away for the Easy manual."
If they couldn't shift them at those prices, this seems like an awareness issue! Were they just not marketing it?!?! $10,000 Aus is the equivalent of £4,675!!!

Pretty much. I've literally never seen an ad of any kind for them.
Is it the only Fiat sold Down Under. ?

Fiat do sell other models down here. I think we also get the 500, Punto, Ducato and Doblo. The most common Fiat by far is that awful rebadged Dodge Journey, though. Freemont, I think they call it?
A lot of people don't like the Dualogic because it isn't as smooth as a traditional auto.

Hi,
I have a Panda here in Vic and am wanting to get a tow bar fitted and you appear to be able to achieve this incredibly feat ! Fiat dealers and Customer Care are of no use, so hopeful you will have some good news. I just want to be able to attach a 40mm bike fitting and tow a garden trailer.
Thanks Boris
This is for Aus Panda. Or any other Aus related towbar knowledge holder !
