Probably not. He will probably be working on finishing touches for the Chricago or New York auto show concepts.

Greg — Sat, 05 Jan 2008 06:16:08 +0000

He he JTZ!
I think Greg will be there a few days later. He was very upset when he saw the exhibitors schedule, that I posted here yesterday. He said he won’t make it to the show on the first day, I think.

Anyway, you’ll both have an opportunity to see two of the most exciting Kia cars in person and perhaps you meet someone from Kia people there! I guess I’ll have to wait to see the Kee in person till Kia invites me to it’s European design center located in Frankfurt!

If I see a 14 year old hanging out in the Kia area and has been there for hours (the Borrego for hours) I’ll ask him if he is Greg from Kia-World. I plan on going there on the Saturday after it just opened.

They had to repaint it’s front. But I think they used the same colour to do that. It’s not a bad colour to me.

So, another KIA-WORLD member will be at the show! That’s great news. You could meet Greg there. He will be at the show too.

That is great news. You think they repainted it Himi? If they may give it a better looking face they might as well give it another (a better) color. Then again, I heard that the green isn’t really that bad live. I told myself If Kia wasn’t going to bring a concept to Detroit, I wasn’t going. I’m from Ohio and I never seen a Kia concept live before. So, I’ll be there.

I don’t think so. It is just a photoshop to make it a little funny in my oppinion.
