Matthew PaulFeb 08, 2012 I take that back, why would you call it a crossover? It's basically a Kia wrx!
Matthew PaulFeb 08, 2012 Damn it I was hoping for a hot hatch

Leo CastilloMar 24, 2012 Kia soul that decided to be a man
Brad WoodFeb 11, 2012 KBB just named KIA the lowest cost of ownership of all brands, with Audi a close second. Yeah, must have crappy resale value and bad quality. LOL. People, don't say you don't like broccoli of you've never eaten broccoli.
Mike AguilarFeb 10, 2012 It's funny you say that Michael, it just goes to show how uneducated people can be. I work in the car business, and have for a very long time. Kia, believe it or not, now has one of the highest resale values in the non luxury segment. Actually higher than Toyota, Honda, and Subaru. They have made there way up to the highest rated Asian non luxury import two years in a row. If you want to talk abou...
Lee CascioFeb 09, 2012 It's a shame it won't look anywhere near as cool as this when it hits production.
Cho DanFeb 09, 2012 Michael, what you are saying about Kia now is what people said about Toyota in the 70's.
Michael GallagherFeb 09, 2012 @dillion, you see them everywhere because they are cheap and don't hold any resale value. Not everyone has the money to buy a now car, so they look to Kia and Hyundai.
Tanner PerkinsFeb 09, 2012 KIA has really pulled itself together in the past few years and hopefully this car will be able to see a production line
Hank AustinFeb 09, 2012 Yeah it looks really aggressive but do you honestly think anyone is gonna be scared of a jacked up soul with exteremely flared wheel arches?
Darren NardoFeb 08, 2012 I think this would be a hit, I hope the 250 horse stays!
James Patrick DelaneyFeb 08, 2012 I think this was a great idea by Kia, it looks fun and would still be good for the city.
Dillon DixonFeb 08, 2012 Why wouldn't Kia get in this category? They are redefining their company to appeal to the younger audience. The soul was a major success bc I see them everywhere! This could easily do just as well.
Paul BrodrechtFeb 08, 2012 IDK why already crappy companies waste tune and money trying to make Ford fiesta equivalent cars fast. And wonder why nobody buys them? Maybe its Cuz if we want to buy a fast car, we buy a mustang, not a mini Cooper on steroids
Paul BrodrechtFeb 08, 2012 Is any one else seeing a wana be mini here?!
Matt PiccoloFeb 08, 2012 Not feelin it, but I don't like any hyundai/Kia products so yea, theirs something about their styling I hate and cough quality cough cough is horrible too
Zaire WilkinsFeb 08, 2012 k now add this in forza 4 just like they threw in the veloster which i swapped out for a V6
Michael GallagherFeb 08, 2012 Look at that mini cooper! Wait.. My bad. Anyway, it actaully looks half decent. So half a kudo
Zachary MaurerFeb 08, 2012 And I'm sooo happy that their are no haters like dexter on this page, only a minor complaint from Adam, u have to have one I guess...
Arthur FlowersFeb 08, 2012 For it having a small wheel base and a 75.5" width along with AWD, I would imagine it handles well on a track.
Mario CallirgosFeb 08, 2012 This is within 3 k of the fr-s price range and Has 50 more hp, how doesnt this car compete.
Adam PageFeb 08, 2012 Rather buy a Vw Gti or a Fiat 500 Abarth...
Adam PageFeb 08, 2012 Looks good, hopefully it drives well unlike other kias. Their transmissions are crap and it ruins the car...
Riley McKelvieFeb 08, 2012 Wish it was a 4 seater! Other then that awesome job Kia!
Arthur FlowersFeb 08, 2012 It's 250 hp with a 6-speed short throw manual that is awd. 19 wheels with 6-piston brakes on 14" rotors in front and 4-piston 13.6" rotors in rear.
Mario CallirgosFeb 08, 2012 To bad it will have to compete with the fr-s
Puneet DassFeb 08, 2012 Just get rid of the massive fog lights
Trent GriffinFeb 08, 2012 So is this the Kia version of the Veloster platform? FREAKIN' HOT!
Josh HwangFeb 08, 2012 remind me of faces of Darth Vader's boys
Nick StiFeb 08, 2012 I wouldn't buy it but it looks menacing
JGL ScuderiaFeb 08, 2012 looks nice. has it any lap times on tracks
Matthew PaulFeb 08, 2012 What do you get if you cross a soul with a juke? In all seriousness it's pretty cool
Christopher McSweenFeb 08, 2012 Love everything about this car. Awesome job KIA.
Brad WoodFeb 08, 2012 Looks awesome. Plus, it probably won't be more than $22k. Can't wait to see it
Dillon DixonFeb 08, 2012 It's based off the soul
And I think it looks great.
Avery WilliamsFeb 08, 2012 Love the whole look to it. Shows aggressiveness!
Alex PrestonFeb 08, 2012 I think it's looks pretty darn awesome! I bet it must be surprisingly fun to drive
Hank AustinFeb 08, 2012 Brake lights remind me of the VW up!
Matthew PaulFeb 08, 2012 Yeah, you wouldn't call a wrx a crossover
Christo SavaidesFeb 08, 2012 I think calling it a crossover is a bit of a stretch. It's more like a hatchback. Although I don't see a rear hatch or any way to access the trunk space for that matter.
Dillon DixonFeb 08, 2012 I would totally want one of these if it was RWD. It would be a blast.
Jake KnickmeyerFeb 08, 2012 Is this rwd or maybe rear biased awd? Those are some fat back tires for a little hatch.
Trent GriffinFeb 08, 2012 I held off from getting a Veloster to see if I wanted the Veloster turbo... But this think makes me have more patience..wow
Dillon DixonFeb 08, 2012 Those tires are pretty wide for a car like this. The whole car looks great. I give props to Kia.
Mike AguilarFeb 10, 2012 Do you really think a company would be in business if they put a monster warranty on a vehicle if it broke down all the time? Some of you people are funny. Get your facts straight. Have you looked up reliability ratings on vehicles lately? Kia and Hyundai outranked every other Asian import on the market, oh and all the American companies too. It's merely a manufacturer letting you know they have c...
Cody JacquesFeb 09, 2012 agree, interior like this is overkill.
and fairly tackey
Hank AustinFeb 09, 2012 I hate all these funky Asian interiors like you see in this and the juke... They're so ugly
Paul BrodrechtFeb 08, 2012 Guys, its a mental game, they tell you its reliable, so you don't notice that your actually fixing it more than American cars. But kia and hyndai are total jokes. If your gona buy Asian, buy Subaru or Mitsubishi, they're proven to last
Matt PiccoloFeb 08, 2012 Kinda cool, nothin special though
Zachary MaurerFeb 08, 2012 @ Arthur, ya, bro, Kia has the best warranty, and it's Asian, so you know it lasts :)
Zachary MaurerFeb 08, 2012 Never mind, you get the jackass Caleb to ruin the good comments
Arthur FlowersFeb 08, 2012 Well with a warranty of 10yrs/100000 miles, it would behoove a company to build a product to not break down. Just saying. Hyundai/Kia quality now ranks top in the nation.
Max WaiteFeb 08, 2012 FORD fan, please proof-read, add punctuation, and learn English.
Dillon DixonFeb 08, 2012 Looking at this, I would never have thought it was a Kia at first glance.
Sam OglesbyFeb 08, 2012 Tools yep you'll be needing those
Richie WilcockFeb 08, 2012 I think that little storage area behind the driver's seat perfectly describes who will buy this thing.
I take that back, why would you call it a crossover? It's basically a Kia wrx!
Damn it I was hoping for a hot hatch
