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..
tak cantik la……
Looks good in scatch book….but no good in real model.
I like the sport rims!!
nice ma….look more european
Looks like that new Volvo with the big rear screen. Also looks like VW Scirocco
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)
I bet the headlight will get clouded..
Nowadays Kia really knows how to design a good model of car.But when will this model bring in Malaysia?
damn freakin beautiful rims…. gotta be some of the best wheels i've seen…. as for the car, i have doubts about it going into production…. especially for m'sia
nice.
nx kia rio ?
cool…. the best Kia ever! the best Korean car ever!
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!
