Kia Motors Corp. said Tuesday it will sell the facelift version of the Morning compact car in Europe by the end of this year, as part of its efforts to capture a bigger share of the European auto market.
Lee Hyung-geun, vice president of Kia’s European headquarters, made the remark at a press conference in Frankfurt before the opening of the International Auto Show, which starts with two days of press previews, during the day.
Lee reiterated that Kia aims to grab 2.7 per cent of the European auto market by 2010 by selling 600,000 vehicles that year.

Hello to Sweden!:)
Yes the facelifted Picanto does look great! Many new competitors are going to unveil new mini cars, so this
facelift will help Kia to sell Picanto till the next redesign comes to the market in ’09 or ’10.
Do you drive a Kia?

the interior looks like a mini cee’d!

Yes Diego it does look similar to Cee’d's from this view Cee’d's. Interior is redesigned a bit, but the most important
change are the interior materials, which now have better and more quality feel.
