KIA SOUL vs NISSAN CUBE - OCTOBER SALES IN THE USA & CANADA

By The Good Car Guy     at 11/07/2009 08:39:00 AM
Only a couple days ago I was asked by a car salesman which I liked better, the Kia Soul or the Nissan Cube. Problem number one arises with his affiliation: his company sells both new Nissans and new Kias. Problem number two ignites after he discovers GoodCarBadCar.net was in a competition to win a Nissan Cube and lost, thus inciting impressions of bitterness. Unfounded impressions.

Presenting further evidence that your knowledge of Sales Stats should never be based on your local area but on cold hard Numbers was this salesman's surprise ascertainment of the facts surrounding Kia's complete sales dominance over Nissan in this category. As for that dominance, the Soul's chokehold on the Cube disappeared for the first time in the United States and shrunk dramatically in Canada last month. The figures for October can be seen below, along with year-to-date (ytd) statistics. Click here for the Kia Soul vs. Nissan Cube battle from September.

OCTOBER SALES IN THE USA

Kia Soul: 2,063 (26,300 ytd)
Nissan Cube: 2,097 (16,849 ytd)

OCTOBER SALES IN CANADA

Nissan Cube: 315 (1,948 ytd)

  1. 666 Souls sold ending the evening of Hallowe'en? Is this a cruel hoax?

  2. does this mean you have the KIA Canada model breakdown sales for October?

    "Wheel's" classified the Cube as one of the worse highway vehicles - "Box on wheels is so bad on the highway that it deserves to be blasted to oblivion"
