After a decade of domination of the Fiat Uno, its replacement the Fiat Punto logically takes the relay, becoming Italy’s best selling car in 1994. It does so flamboyantly with no less than 271,479 sales and 16.2% share. This is more than 3 times the volume of the Uno which still manages to hold onto the second place this year with 79,074 units sold and 4.7% share. The Ford Fiesta drops 27% and one spot to 78,803 sales and #3, ahead of the Fiat Cinquecento, stable at #4 and 4.4% and the Lancia Y10, up 2 spots to #5 and 4%.

Lancia Delta

Notice the Opel Astra gain two spots also to #7, the Opel Corsa entering the Top 10 at #8, the Renault Twingo slicing its ranking in 2 compared to 1993, up 14 spots to #14, the Ford Mondeo up 8 to #16, the Lancia Delta up 12 to #17 thanks to the new generation of the model on sale since late 1993, the Citroen ZX up 13 to #23, the Mercedes C-Class up 23 to #27 for its first full year of sales and the Renault Laguna landing at #36.
