In this stellantis marketing blurb (which admittedly is over a year old at this point, july 2022) they're citing private ownership sales as 83%, 94%, 75%, 55% for france, italy, spain, belgium

Turkey indeed has more commercial users, although simply due to the fact that they did 400 commercial orders, and private orders were limited to 50 units. And I guess 200 orders for Morocco

https://www.media.stellantis.com/em-en/citroen/press/citroen-ami-success-without-borders

If they somehow figure out how to add two more seats and get it crash-worthy up to ~35 or 40 mph that could be a real winner for people with kids

I guess they're ramping up production from 10 to 18 to 20,000 units per year, and planning to go to 50k units next year(?)

Huh, interesting. A big part of the PR at the time of release was about the company that PSA had setup alongside it for short term rental stuff, Free2Move.

Other awesome AI car poo poo: If you ever find yourself in The Hague (the city, not the international criminal court), you 100% need to go to the Louwman Museum. Spent the afternoon there yesterday and my brain went into vapor lock over how much cool poo poo there was. I eventually stopped taking pictures and just bought the museum catalog in the gift shop.

It's Euopean car heavy, which is fantastic, and covers brass age to the 80s. Every corner you turn is just another room full of "woah." There's an entire room of Italian race/sports cars, a Bugatti room, a room full of lemans cars, blah blah blah.

There's a vein of early Dodges and the history of Toyota running through the museum because the Museum's namesake was the Netherlands' main Dodge and then Toyota importer. It's also got what is likely the only extant Toyoda AA on the planet, which was a huge positive for me, but YMMV because it's in unrestored condition after being found in a rural russian barn.

Seconding this - I made the mistake of thinking that the museum could be viewed in an hour or two, but we barely got to the 80s endurance racing section before being hustled out by security. So many interesting vehicles! Definitely budget 3-4 hours or more if you go.

It's open from 10-5 every day, and if you really, REALLY want to take in the collection, you may need more than the 7 hours a single day provides. I only had a few hours and pretty quickly had to triage what I was going to spend time on. The cars are easily a full day for the nerds in here, and on top of that, you could easily spend a couple hours just taking in the collections of accessories, ads, toys, and car-adjacent products as well.

Hell, the Cafe space is set up like an old street with olde tyme shops full of collections and you could probably spend an hour just in there checking everything out.

there was a GT1 car called the SARD MC8-R that basically amounted to a wide MR2 with a 1UZ in the back, and the lone homologation road version of the 1995/1996 car is actually owned and driven by some private owner

BMW has historically had some of the best blues.

When my brother lived in Chicago there was a mint E46 M3 in Laguna Seca blue in his building's garage that had about 1/2 an inch of dust on it and to my knowledge had never moved in the 10 years he lived there. Made me viscerally angry.
