Despite the challenging market conditions in metro Detroit as well as the rest of the country, we can safely say, here at Summit Place Kia, that Kia Motors is certainly on a bit of a roll this year. In their latest sales figures, released this week, the company reports a third consecutive month of increased sales, with sales of the all-new Kia Soul up 19.4% over April.
Here is the release from Kia:
