Yes, but look at the total number sold. It doesn't take much of a bump in sales to go up 50% if you usually only sell 1,300 units in two months (e.g. the Miata). In the Versa's case, they've sold 20,255 units in two months—so a 10% dip mean more than 2,000 units!

In the kia soul case, they've sold 21,033 units in two months—so a 16% increase mean more than 3,500 units!
that cancels out your versa and some more.

I don't get the Soul sales. We were given one as a rental and it was cheap and chintzy.And I don't find the look appealing, however I read a study that people who buy Soul's buy them again and again. They are loyal. The Soul basically killed the Honda Element which was better in every way. I'm not a fan or Kia or Hyundai cars. Yes, they have improved, but they are hit or miss. Either the quality is okay or its poor. The better half drives a Sportage and loves it. I hate it. I never ride in it.

IMHO, it'd a clever advertising targeting some minority groups. it works well. kia soul sells at premium. toyota always sucks at advertising. their adds are so bad, they decrease sales, LOL.
