Strangely, the abject failure that the Honda Insight is in the United States has not produced failure in Canada. That's not to say Canadian buyers always follow their American neighbours, not at all. It's also worth pointing out that the Insight's Canadian success is purely relative; as compared with the Toyota Prius. But the Prius, in Canada, has nowhere near the hybrid sway it does in the USA. So is the Honda Insight doing well in Canada? Uh.... no. Civics are more than 20 times as popular, for context. But is the Honda Insight within reach of the Toyota Prius in Canada? Yes, and that's not something that can be said by American Honda dealers.

It's no longer appropriate to say there's an automotive sales war being waged between the Kia Soul and Nissan Cube. Clearly Kia's okay with allowing the Nissan Cube to live on - the Cube isn't dead (yet) - but the Soul has become such...

SUV coupes, an oxymoronic amalgam of two primarily offbeat terms themselves, haven't exactly set the Canadian Marketplace on fire. True, BMW and Acura don't require the X6 and ZDX to be world famous. These two vehicles are built using donated...
- U.s. Sales Of Minivans, Niche Suvs And Trucks, Niche Cars - June 2010
With no help from General Motors or Ford, sales of domestic minivans don't measure up to the total put together by Asian minivans. On the other hand, you can safely say that Chrysler's minivan duo, the Dodge Grand Caravan and Chrysler Town &...

Unlike its equivalent Sales Stats chart from the United States, Canada's Niche Car Sales Graph doesn't include any so-called 4-door coupes. There's not a single Scion, either. Scions won't be available in Canada for a few months and the...

What's wrong with the 2010 Honda Insight? Fuel efficiency doesn't reach the levels attained by the Toyota Prius, true. But the Insight is $3,000 less expensive than the Prius. Surely a $3,000 price advantage brings with it high-volume sales in...

NICHE CAR SALES AND NICHE SUV AND TRUCK SALES IN CANADA - MAY 2010
Strangely, the abject failure that the Honda Insight is in the United States has not produced failure in Canada. That's not to say Canadian buyers always follow their American neighbours, not at all. It's also worth pointing out that the Insight's Canadian success is purely relative; as compared with the Toyota Prius. But the Prius, in Canada, has nowhere near the hybrid sway it does in the USA.

Yes, and that's not something that can be said by American Honda dealers.
The gap between Kia's Soul and the Nissan Cube is about as wide as it's ever been. Though GoodCarBadCar.net would've been glad to acquire a free Cube through the hypercube competition last year, it's not surprising that the Soul's pricing strategy, mixed with superior design and all-around Kia momentum is helping Kia conquer Nissan with ease. Come fall 2010 and Scion will try and throw a wrench into the Canadian boxy hatchback market with the xB.
As far as larger niche vehicle products go, don't we all just want a Jeep? Yes, apparently we all do.
