You know, Kia is taking what Mazda used to do right in styling, and just beating Mazda over the freakin' head with it. Very nice little car there, and yeah, the color is great!

I never thought I'd ever see a Kia I'd rock. But I like that a lot! And yeah, x975,275 on the color.

Kia is just doing a whole bunch right these days. Wife has a Soul and its a nice little car. If I were to get another new car after I retire the smart (100,000 miles now, the time is coming) that Forte Koup would definitely be on my short list.

Does this mean I'll be seeing the 2 of you at the thing on Saturday?

That car looks surprizingly awesome. Not just awesome in comparison to some of the blander past Kias, but awesome in comparison to all of its competitors. Totally awesome. The color is even more awesome.

Hey now, some of us like cars that smile. Does that make us crazy? (don't answer that! lol)

I opened this thread and immediately thought, "woah! Subaru are doing a 2-door WRX coupe again?" - then I looked a bit closer. I can't be the only one...

Nice ride!

I did the same thing. I had to double take to figure out that it was a Kia. Damn nice looking Kia at that.

Whatever Kia had to do to lure designer Peter Schreyer away from Audi... they should keep doing it, it was worth it.
