After sales of 3 in 2008, 44 in 2009, 26 in 2010, 17 in 2011, 21 in 2012 & 4 so far in 2013 (thanks SIMI), Fiat Ireland has just dropped the Qubo from their price list.

General Qubo dropped from Irish Price List
That is sad........part of the problem no doubt is the general lack of advertising which Fiat as a whole do........and for the Qubo in particular.

I was only thinking driving home tonight (having not been overtaken by any Bipper/Nemo derivatives for once) that I wonder where I could find out the sales numbers in total for our van-based vehicles to try and force the hand of Messrs Haynes to publish a workshop manual.. They won't be rushing to if they hear about those poor figures from across the water.
Since 2008 the number must be nigh on a million?

Its all down to advertising, without exception, every person that has seen mine has said "whats that?" then after I explain they say........."Ive never heard of one of them before"
The bipper/nemo van is very common in England but no-one knows they do a car version of these and I have only ever seen 4 actual qubos on the road.

Your comments leave me with little confidence it will survive in RHD in UK.
PSA never marketed car derived versions here.
I just checked Fiorino sales with SIMI. 2010, 65; 2011, 69; 2012, 24; 2013, 22. Doblo trounces it over here.

Is it price related?
Just found a 6-door white Fiorino, auto box, ABS, ESP, parking sensors, CD player etc. *new* for £8,995 (plus vat of course) from my supplier (Vanworld, Chesterfield). I paid £14k for mine with almost every option on it. Nice though
Various reports say the Fiat is a better finished vehicle (something to do with the way Fiat spec their interiors and build) so maybe that's another factor if they charge more for what looks like the same vehicle?
