The Kia Niro will help fill the gaping void left by the departure of the Rondo from the US market. Billed as the best-driving Hybrid available (who would expect anything less from a Rondo-like vehicle) the Nero is sure to outsell the ugly Prius 15:1 by 2018.

At the press launch, this woman and many others just like her, stood on the platform waiting for someone to take them on a date in the Niro. The chick-magnet magic of the Rondo is clearly transferring...

The Kia Niro received a 19-Star NCAP Rating. Here is the Niro after a 215mph collision, a test reserved only for cars rating above 15-stars for safety.

The interior of the Kia Niro sets new standards for room and luxury. One has been ordered as a Presidential Limo with zero modifications needed, as it is also completely bulletproof. (Niro LX shown)

Wasn't he the one that was completely deranged (even by Roman standards) from generations of incest and lead poisoning? Appointed his horse to the senate or something?

Edit: NVM, I think that was Caligula I'm thinking of.

Hahaha. Love it.

In all seriousness, if it were a bit bigger and more mid-sized SUV, I'd be interested. Seems to be a shortage of reasonably priced hybrids with tons of storage. Highlander seems to be the go-to option, but they hold their value quite well once the initial drop is over with.
