Re: Kia SI
I actually think its attractive (for a Kia!) but it definitely took a lot of notes from Si styling...
And man those wheels! What the heck is going on in some designers minds?

Re: Kia SI
173hp* + 2900lbs = no care. Don't need another lack-luster performing sport compact with no power. We have the SI for that already.
* 168ft.lb is not too bad but then again, who needs torque when you have short gears?

Re: Kia SI
I hate to tell you but EVERY company uses knock offs from other brands. from cheap like kia, to a bit more pricey like audi. Perfect example... the a5 is identical to the 3 series coupe...hell they even have the same options, ie 3L turbo

Re: Kia SI
i work for a honda/kia dealer and rumor from kia is this will soon become a turbo charged kia, now i think i remember reading that it will be a "sti/evo" beater with 300 hp but i cant see it happening. still i have to say with the crap kia has made in the past this one and the four door arent really that bad
