Anyone have a good idea why the Kia Soul has been doing WAY better than the Nissan Cube or Scion xB? Clearly it isn't price.

Perhaps there is a market for a Honda Box smaller than the Element.



Kia's marketing has been spot on.........And Toyota has recently stated the XB may not be replaced.


Sales of the Soul have been consistently high even before the recent news of the xB's eventual demise. I'm sure buyers of the Soul cross shop the Cube and the xB. There must be something compelling about the Soul besides better marketing from Kia that is behind those big numbers.



I think the reason is simple:

Cube's rear is not symmetric. And its 2 side profiles don't match. I have idea why they came-up with that design. It might be the only car in US that has asymmetric design.
How many people do you think will accept those rear looks? Yeah, its different but polarizing too.

On the other hand, Kia soul atleast looks decent from all angles.
