    Yearghh!! This is what I’m waiting for.. At least KIA had proven something as a results of their great effort on R&D.. Wake up P1.. Move quick P2..

    Don’t really like the headlights n colour. Other than that, real nice. Nice rims.
    Few years ago, i wouldn’t even give KIA a second glance. But look how much they improved.

    too bad its only for european market …. If i were the big boss of kia, I’ll make this with at least 1600 cc , 1800 cc and high line is V6 with 2000 cc. then sell it to the worls.. what do u think paul tan?

    Usually I don’t trust what I see on a concept car. Seldom we see more than 70% of a concept car is preserved in a production car.

    But as far as this concept car is concerned, it sure looks good… although I would prefer less blink-blinks (chrome and silver-linings) all-round the bottom-half of the car. Like… on the door panel (lower portion), the rims (yes, even the rims is blink-blink type), front and rear bumpers also got chrome edges.

    Then again, this is fo-sho version ma. (For show)

    finally, the korean has come up with a pretty impressive design, unlike the present one on our roads, so afterthought

    i gotta admit Kia has gone through a lot of changes in terms of design….hopefully the performance of the new range of kia car’s has improved as well…

    Hey, what is this color call ? Milky-Milky… seldom see this color hor…. maybe it will look good on a P1 or P2. You see people so daring to try.

    Wow… bringing back the ‘volvo’ color back in early 80’s – nice but doesn’t blend well with the bling2 finishing inside out

    Colour is called ‘Cashew’ as in cashew nut. Odd colour for a sporty design but I think their European design studio guys are ex Audi & Opel. Reminds me of a 60s Beetle colour called Panama Beige, but this one probably has high content of mica flakes and metal powder for a metallic/pearlescent look. From the sporty aspect it may not be too bad, because I’ve seen a Ferrari 250GTO in a similar colour in Japan.

    and ppl thought neo’s rims were bling2. brilliant design and i especially love the headlamps. super cool looking with such a piercing stare! however, dont favor the grill and the colour choice. should have like a black mesh with the kia logo in the middle for the grill and just because the car’s name is similar to see doesnt mean u have to paint it to look like a walnut!
