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.
