I test drove a Koupe yesterday and its about time Kia came out with something that was really sporty. I put it right at the same level as a tiburon. Anyone else test drive one yet?

I haven't driven one. It's a little on the large side for my taste, but it's a nice looking car.

Went and checked two out on Sunday, but both of them were autos and the higher trim level was inside the dealership so I didn't bother.

VERY nice, way nicer than I was expecting, and my hopes were HIGH for it. The interior is so frigging nice.

BUT, for around 4K more, you can get the Genesis R Spec...

Personally, I'm still head over heels for the Soul, and will be buying one this year.

And it is KOUP, not Koupe.
