sales.

canada here:

Kia Canada Inc. sales up 6.7 per cent in December while contributing to 76,504 vehicles sold in 2017

USA:
Kia Motors America Announces December Sales

 

[Kia Stinger]

Nice. So 843 sold so far in America? That's pretty good for the first month and hardly anyone knows about it...

We have 1,124 members. I hope we have every Stinger owner.

Wow, their sales are really down on a year over year basis. Especially when you factor in the Niro picked up 27k sales and it didn't even exist the year before. Their other models really took a hit..

Yeah. Only the Forte and Cadenza saw an improvement...

Actually, this is because the 2017 Cadenza and Forte were new models where the rest had their new model in 2016. That's why 2016 was above average for them...

in comparison toyota sold 1.8 million cars

One of the reviewer on YouTube (sorry forgot the name) mentioned that their Stinger review video got the most view - implying lots of interests in the car.

I personally really like the Stinger and how successful it is doesn't affect how much I love my own car. Still, I'd love to see more accessories available for the Stinger, so I'm very excited to hear they are selling well.

Wow only 843 sold so far? It kind of puts things in perspective how rare these cars are out on the road at this moment. It'll probably be a while before I get to report sighting another stinger in the wild.

Yeah, I just hope it's 843 on the road and not just 'sold' to dealers.

I'm actually surprised it's that many, given the supply constraints and dealer markups. Hopefully the backlog starts clearing up soon, so customers can get what they want, and dealers can more easily be brought back down to earth.

That's how I feel as well. I'm actually shocked at almost 900 Stingers sold considering the limited availability and mark-ups...

Sedona was down almost 50%.
