I must say it looks pretty good, Kia's have gone a long way but I still wouldn't buy one
It looks like a mix up of already existing cars

I'm not sure if the turbo 2.0 is coming to north america. They didn't bring that engine overseas with the koup, not sure why they would with this.

its the same engine that is in the new hyundai sonata because.....well....hyundai builds kia.....and yes they do use the mitsubishi motors. the forte uses the lancer motor...

and everyone can bang on about how they are pieces of shit...quite frankly hyundai and kia have been building half decent cars since the early 2000's in my opinion but they have only now sort of gotten into the horsepower race. also...hyundai and kia's car divisions are basically just long going experiments. hyundai is hardly cheap, all you have to do is look at their ships, their tractor equipment, and the other billions and billions of dollars in investments they own.

actually the 2.4liter theta block in forte, and the 2006-2010 sonatas and kia optima (NOT the new current 200hp gasoline direct injection motor) was a joint project motor with hyundai mitsubishi and chrysler
