I would say it's a concept, there is no way they would make those headlights like that for a production car. Remember how the Genesis' concept headlights were? They were something like that.

I wounder if it's RWD or has the specs of the Genesis? If it did and at the end this KIA ended like this i would go all over this one.

Definately a concept but I could see Kia doing something similar and haveing more of a sporty model. Would be nice to see.

That looks pretty good but yeah a blatant Civic ripoff unless they change a bit on it.
