If the Panda was axed I'm sure the Italians would have something to say.
Am I not correct in saying that the Panda outsells the 500 in Italy?

Yes looking at these sales figures http://carsalesbase.com/european-car-sales-data/fiat/fiat-panda/ the Panda still sales extremely well across Europe .
So based on the sales figures on the above website, why would anyone choose to favour one over the other (or to discontinue either one) ?

That would make sense, as the 500 is by far the older design, plus it's Fiats' cash cow.
The big so-called 500 is the real cash cow.
The next Generation Panda looks doubtful and is still under consideration.

Unlikely as it’s the biggest selling car in Italy afaik
Maybe they should just rebrand the Panda as the 500+?
Panda production is moving back to Tychy, Poland - source: this weeks Autocar.
They are not going to let 190k units of sales slip through their fingers. There will be replacement. I just hope it is something somewhat new rather than a cynical re-hashing of the existing platform.
They've already got the 500x so the de rigeur SUV/CUV is already on the market.
