Looks like a Corolla wannabe.

Kia will probobly always remain the same crapy car it is… i mean unless they make a REAL change in their work, it will remain the same in people mind… “Oh it’s a Kia…” very boring!

I’ve never liked Kia’s, I just don’t totally like… the quality of it and people have their minds set and think Kia is an awful, low quality brand. But this one isn’t that bad. Nice interior I especially love the dash. The outside is very bland and boring though, and so is the interior.

Reminds me of a Versa in many respects… with a cleaner front end.

should be a good entry.

This car could have been a Subaru because it is obviously inspired by the Legacy wagon. Should have been the Impreza hatch LoL!

what an increddibly boring car, are those picturse black and white or this car another piece of just 4 wheels and a body. the car that is not driven by humans, but only by mindless robots

looks exactly like the european corolla..
how retarded to copy one of toyotas designs created before they put a focus on looking good..

The front looks like a Altima

Front looks like the last gen Lexus IS.

Uhhh… first pictures? It was shown at the London Motor Show several weeks ago…
http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/AutoshowArticles/articleId=116215 (although it’s nice to see the interior).

looks decent, and if it has a decent price tag it should sell well too given their history…
I think the rear window needs to provide a little more visibilty though

Call yourselves car enthusiasts? All you can say is it looks like this it looks like that, you are a load of losing sucks who thinks because they had a wet dream over a Corvette or A Mustang thet you are a car expert and enthusiast. Well you are not, you suck, big time

hey Bloopah
if you ar such a car enthusiast your self why dont you actually leave a comment on the car and stop critizising other members????? and dude actually i would never have a wet dream over a mustang and probably not a corvette either (including the z06.
about the car i say it could hit because its not an ugly car and price should be on the low side.

this is what the versa should have been. i’m not suggesting this is anything great though it does have some nice details. just that i couldn’t believe how nasty the versa turned out.

Bloopah:
A true enthusiast cares not only about Ferrari and Lambo, etc…
a true enthusiast loves to analyze the broader spectrum of the automotive industry, be it a $8,000 chinese entry or a $3,000,000 one-off custom pinninfarina built p4/5 replica on an Enzo chassis.

for a cheap car this has nice tight euro styling, with no gimmicky details a al Caliber

that C piller is straight off of the Mazda3. its acutally not a bad car..i mean since the current car is the Rio this is like 5 steps up. i think it will compete well with the Yaris/Fit/Versa/xA. I actaully think its not a bad looking car,. boring but nothing a set of wheels couldnt change

this car is for C-segment to compete with all the heavy hitters like Golf, Mazda 3, Corolla, Astra…etc. Yaris/Fit/Versa/xA are smaller cars. - just making things clear.

oh, and as always, i am so tired of people saying it looks like this, it looks like that, just because it has similar graphics….ridiculous.

Kia does decent wor making inexpensive cars, and good for them, there is definately a large market out there for them.

However, do they need to style this just like the Mazda 3?

I totally agree with the previous Mazda 3 Sport comment. As a current 3 Sport owner i can definately see the striking resemblance. The belt-line is almost exactly the same! I do like it. I think it will do well if they price it a few grand less than a 3 or caliber. Kia still has a long way to go, but this could be the beginning of a New Kia, the way Hyundai developed over recent years. Good job!

Sorry I can’t see any Mazda 3 in this, But hey!, I’m a designer, what do I know?

BETTER THAN THE FRIST KIAS….HEY U BUY WAHT U CAN AFFORD…….

What in God’s name is that hideous thing?

your mama 1c3d0g?

Some of you people degrade yourselves to such stupid comments… “Yo mamma” for gosh sakes what three year olds… Leftlanenews needs to do something about peoples stupid comments this is supposed to be about cars not degrading three year old comebacks.

I for one like it. I agree it slightly resembles certain parts of other cars, but it’s not a complete copy or anything. The interior looks small, but it looks fairly good.

Surely when all traffic is gridlocked and gas is $7.50 a gallon, you want to be spending as little as possible to be stationary on Santa Monica Blvd

I think it looks better than ANYTHING Nissan has in this segment for the 2007 model year.

The front is a carbon copy of the IS350……

If it’s anything as reliable as my mom’s ‘01 Rio, which may or may not be similar to others’ experiences, it’s attractive enough in its market to potentially be very successful.

It’s another one of those cars made to take down toyota.

Not bad for a Kia - if it has the usual low Kia prices.

Big John Holmes, no, that was your sister, remember? Your mama forgot to give you your meds today, which is why you can’t distinguish your finger from your ass.

Id sooner buy this that some POS like the caliber.

Scion tC tail lights…. with Nissan Altima headlights. Add in the profile of a Mazda 3 and you have a Kia Cee’d!
