I wonder where they obtained the 22,794 units sold number? Someone here had inquired and Moto had attempted to tally a number some time ago.

Masses buy what's shoved down their throat as a result heavy advertising....too bad for them, too bad for us. Whatever. I have a blast driving my #5-of-10 worst selling car everytime I get behind the wheel no matter what the weather's doing or what the road conditions are.

Want to know how good the Kizashi is? Rent something else.

Was driving a Prius the last two days ... Horrible car.

Nice it's on the same list as the Buggatti Veyron.

It only appears to be from votes/ nominations from subscribers to that site?

...that's a fact. Had a 2014 Camry XLE while at Lackland AFB for a week between xmas and New Years. Not a bad car, but it wasn't my quiet, nimble Kizashi. Far too much dashboard bling at night for my taste. Downright distracting. I was extremely pleased to return to BWI and jump in my car for the ride back to Lancaster. It was one of those "aahhhhhh..." moments.

North American sales info: http://www.goodcarbadcar.net/p/sales-stats.html

The monthly sales info for the Kizashi stops in March 2013, but the full year stats seem to indicate a couple hundred more US sales.

But the Prius got twice the fuel economy. :lol:

The handling/comfort balance is what sets the Kizashi apart in my opinion. Many cars are either comfy but sloppy or sporty but jarring. The Kizashi is a rare good balance between the two. Most other cars that balance this well easily cost twice as much as the Kizashi.
