I don’t know what turned their company around. I must say, their brand image is really starting to improve. This is a great vehicle.

Yup the wheels look too “flowerish”. This car looks more like a Volkswagen IMO.

Front bumper looks like new Euro Ford’s design language has been adopted (see new mondeo)

Looks alright but I doubt that it will be stealing sales from the GTi and Mini as (V)ike suggests, I think alot of buyers buying in that class want something chic and well a kia just isn’t.

man that tint looks good, automakers need to stop doing that in their ads, especially since that tint would be so illegal in california. its not fair…i want my car too look like the one in the ads. they should have a disclaimer….

Isn’t Proceed and anti balding product? Not a good choice in the name. However, this car will steal sales from the new “rabbit” and if they make one with a powerful engine, nice interior and a nice 6 speed it might steal sales from the GTI and Mini

not bad… just drop the chrome door strip and we have a winner…

right.
the panel gaps are wider than the one between Lettermans front teeth.
Typically a prototype will go to extreemes not just in style and design but also to hide things like that.
not bad looking, but is still a diamond in the rough.

neat wheels. lambo meets a reverse hubcap. or something. aside from the wheels, I basically agree with every single comment above. you guys are smart.

The detailing on this thing could teach Chrysler designers a thing or too.
look at the way the bumpers and lights meet front and rear, I find it far from generic, it has substance

If it’s a hardtop with frameless doors and windows and the rear window fully retracts I’d buy it.

Paint colour is horrible for a show car.

Wheels look like some industrial pie-making non-stick bakeing discs. (Maybe watching “How Its Made” on Discovery too much.)

A3 and Mazda3 offspring, but give it somewhere near 200hp and a 6-speed manual, 10 year warranty, and a price around $17,500US, and IT WILL SELL

It’s a very generic design, could almost be mistaken for just about anything. That doesn’t mean I dont like it though. Being a Kia it would also be cheap, which is never a bad thing.

It’s highly derivative, very instyle and thus nothing new. But if this is the direction they are headed, then it is oodles better than previous production cars.

Didn’t Kia or was it Hyundai buy the design firm IDEA?

I like the wheels only in the sense that no one else has done that yet. The redline around the tire is very Matchbox.

What do they call that paint color?

Besides from the rims I do like this car. And I am sure it will be priced nicely if build. Sadly enough I am also sure you won’t be able to get the likes of leather seats or satnav.

This car looks awesome. I’ll take it with a 10 year warranty.
