• I, too, ...Just to address some of your comments:<br /><br />• I, too, am seeing a lot of Souls. Ditto that with Fiestas (a black hatch followed me to work today).<br /><br />• I don't see a lot of Accents around here; possibly more popular in other parts of the country? The new one should be great, though.<br /><br />• The Juke's wheelbase is under 100 inches, which meets one of my unoffical benchmarks for subcompact territory. The lines are so fuzzy these days, though since the Versa has a wheelbase of more than 100". The Juke is nearly identical in size to the Suzuki SX4, too.<br /><br />As for the price, the MINI and Fiat can be pretty darned expensive, too; certainly more so than the Juke (MINI Convertibles can be more than $30,000.)Andy Lilienthalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08962844660116593646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4158601016174103420.post-6037594632384084202011-07-06T21:42:54.159-07:002011-07-06T21:42:54.159-07:00-I'm seeing a lot of base model Souls around -...-I'm seeing a lot of base model Souls around - they've been practically giving them away. They were advertising $88/month lease deals (!) a month or two back.<br /><br />-Fiestas, OTOH seem to be most common in midline form; SE and SES-without-leather, with hatches still more popular than sedans. The dealer up here's been sold out for a while, too - even the purple sedan they had found a buyer. <br /><br />-I'm surprised Hyundai even had 24,000 Accents to sell in June with the old model pretty much cleared out and the new one just starting to ship.<br /><br />-Having seen the Juke in person I'm not sure it belongs here. It's really a compact by bulk and price point even if it's on a subcompact platform with subcompact interior space.nlpnthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16925589671848667697noreply@blogger.com
