“Fiat sells 889 in April – much more than in the US!”
Is 7 (seven) more cars sold in Canada than in the US really “much more”?
Hi JP,
I have amended the article. However in relative terms selling 889 cars in Canada vs 882 in the US results in a much higher market share in Canada.
Hope this helps
cheers
