Sales by Kia Model
Nice to see the Cadenza selling MUCH better. The reason why I think the K900 sales are low is because consumers who can afford the K900 doesn’t want it. And it is out of Kia’s current fanbase’s price range. I like the K900 but there are other Kia models, I can buy for much less and has a better looking exterior such as 2016 Sorento, 2015 Sedona, 2015 Optima. If I were to pay more than 50K for a Kia, I want style like the Kia GT. People will look at my Kia when driving down the streets. I don’t like a car to be ignored on the streets. The K900 can’t really turn heads because it’s nothing but a BMW inspired design looking like an adverage German sedan
in December in the US they sold 110 Soul EV’s, in Canada they sold 16.
Total sales from Oct-Dec in the US – 315; Canada – 36
