A news report indicates that Fiat of Pensacola has closed down. For the full report - click here

While I don't know any details other than what was provided in the news story I have to think it would be a real struggle to make a Fiat/Alfa point viable and if a Dealer Principal wanted to sell the store there probably wouldn't be too many buyers.

It is interesting that Fiat of Pensacola was one of only 86 Fiat stores that was awarded an Alfa Romeo franchise. I'm still not sure I understand FCA's rationale to give the Alfa franchise only to select Fiat stores.
