This sucker was in SCC a month or 2 ago, and I fell in love. It's actually in production, I just wish we'd get it here in the US. Hopefully, we will.

The front reminds me of the Hyundai CR8 or whatever that concept was called.

damn, that thing is sittin' sweet. I'd get one fo' sho'. No one here would believe that it was a kia. Like the article says though, it needs more that just 143hp. It looks like a good platform to start modding from though.

Why do you say that?


I'm wondering if the 143 HP refers to the 2.7L. If so, toss in a supercharger, and that sucker...

Wow.

i heard that new hyundai and kia cars have new types of fenders, so that customers can put wider rims without getting their fender rolled because there's nothing to roll up on the fender.

I saw articles about this somewhere, but i don't remember where. cool.gif

Traitors!!




Bah, who am I kidding...I'd probably do the same. Price it at $15 odd and you've got great potential!!
