315hp at under 2900lb, should be a fun little car. Wonder what pricing will be like on it.

[Redlined_8000]

Is this thing confirmed in the future or is it just a little concept car?

[Xtrema]

Sounds like another solid entry in the hot hatch race if they ever release it.

But people are probably expecting it to be priced like a Veloster.

The name sounds like something out of grand theft auto, it's gay.

Back end says Honda Insight. Front end says Lightning McQueen.

Move along, nothing to see here. Till they actually make it. Which according to them is no longer likely.

Same with the Datsun 510 revival / S Chassis replacement: Nissan IDX.

But some folk at Toyota seem enthusiastic and confident about a 2nd Gen FRS.

IMO, this is a lot better looking KIA

That KIA wagon on the other hand...hnnnnng.

I do have a thing for wagons and its not because its a trendy Jalop thing.

Always thought the CTS V wagon was just awesome and nuts at the same time. The E class AMG wagon. Even my jdm WRX wagon that I drive right now.

If North Americans weren't so close minded and could wrap their heads around carrying 15 golf bags in a wagon opposed to 2 in a sedan, then they'd be sold on these. Instead they buy pick up trucks they don't need and people like me who enjoy smaller vehicles have to suffer when they can't park or maneuver their oversized land yacht.

But yeah KIA wagon ftw

For some reason it reminds me of a TVR Sagaris... just without all the flash.

Isn't this a concept car from a full year ago?

More or less ya, this is a-typical of car companies to spend 5-10 years wasting their time on a concept instead of keeping up with the times. Then your constantly updating the concept, becomes a never-ending process, and said concept usually dies. I always thought if you had a good solid design you make the car and then use 2nd gen to fix defects/problems that were overlooked. Then your 3rd gen can have some of the "updates" that were missed in 1st gen. Now they screw us time and time again on great concepts because its "not perfect" and the concept dies. I thought making cars was a compromise no matter what, so whats the problem? Brakes too expensive, make it a brembo option and charge out the ass for it, engine too expensive, same thing, downgrade and charge out the ass for better motor, design too wild, who cares do it anyway ppl will buy it if the foundation is solid. Car companies are a bunch of babies who missed their 2pm nap and didnt get their 5pm bottle........and we let them build cars

Kind of a departure from this concept... but damn! Not bad Kia, not bad

365hp, available AWD, mimicking a S5 at probably 2/3 of the price. Damn Koreans are getting good at this. Will be interesting to see how it handles, I believe Kia nabbed a key BMW M guy to make sure Kias can handle.

Let's hope the interior comes in something other than black.
