“New Kia cars are not being released to Ontario dealerships — and reportedly many more across the country — to sell. Instead, they’re being stored on this compound, 30 kilometres south of Kitchener, Ont. and allegedly on other similar compounds across Canada.”
I can personally confirm the thing about Kia dealers trying to talk you out of buying the ev version of the soul and to get the gas one instead. Weirdly strongly too. Two different locations. Honestly fuck kia and the dealerships. If I bought a new car I would have been fucked when I lost my job though so maybe only slightly fuck the dealership.
Was strongly considering a Kia or Hyundai for my next vehicle (I’m a current Hyundai owner), but if this is what it looks like, it’s more than sufficient for me to look elsewhere.
It sounds like plausible deniability from what I suspect the real reason is: constraining supply to continue the perception of a shortage and maintain high prices.
How long can they do that? I mean they need a constant cash flow to pay for all their overhead. If they start making less cars that also sends a signal.
