From Honda to Jaguar... Seems to become a standard for high performance version these days. So seldom to find them using words like GTO, GTi and GTS.. The Cee'd looks nice, but still tame compared to Focus, 207, Megane and C4. Hmm so many automakers have adopted the +'R' word for performance cars.

And I can tell you its one good car, loaded with stuff and does not seem kia. more like ford focus. Only I think it will cost around focus money if brought here.

Most of their aftermarket tune kit is base on supercharger instead of turbo charger like those in Japan. I hav no idea for Europe tho. Actually its because of tuning preference in US.
