I Think this car rules!
the car for the average person
the girls blingy car
and the boys car (the burner)
as there are 3 different types of souls
probaly kia’s best car yet!

8/10

It’s gonna be a lot like Fiat500 which is treated as an icon car. I expect to see the Soul becoming a “halo” product for Kia.

It’s still too early to talk about that in any detail – but for sure Soul will be a product that will change according to what the buyer wants.

Steve, do you know if Kia plans any accesories for Soul? You know like Toyota did for Scion brand.

Sorry for the typing error! That wasn’t a hint to another concept!

Himi is right – Soul bruner is one of three versions we will show at Geneva to illustrate just how Soul can be made personal by anyone who wants something that is different from run of the mill mainstream cars. Don’t try to categorise it – no-one describes MINI as a B-segment hatchback! Yes the shot is a teaser but I’ll see to it that himi gets full pictures just as quick as we can! And don’t forget we want to bring lots of other people into the family and Soul will be the car to do it in the immediate future..

Burner is not meant to be a real concept car, but a production version of Soul with some accesories. It only shows one way of how the Soul can be customized.
Take off those big wheels and tatoo and there it is, a production ready Soul…I trully belive that the overall production design (greenhouse, doors, sideline, lights…) will stay the same as on Soul Burner.

IMO Soul will not affect Rondos sales! I expect to see it stealing the sales from Rio! Rio could be in real trouble when Soul comes to the market. Especially, if both of them have similar starting price.

Yeah, Rondo is for families, and Soul is for people in their 20s-30s, that are looking for somthing exotic to impress the ladies with.

The Rondo can carry 7 people and the Soul can not. The Soul won’t mess with Rondo sales IMO. The Rondo is a people mover and the Soul is more of a single guy’s fun-mobile, the way I look at it, or a couple’s funmobile.

I take back everything I said. Kia’s head turning designs turned my head that I didn’t read I just looked. This is one hell of a nice crossover. I’m so glad Toyota is f*****g up on their designs (Scion XD, Land Cruiser, Corolla and Highlander). My only concern is will this affect Rondo sells? I think so.

Why don’t we just see the entire concept again with a new paint job? It’s been at more than four auto shows now. Look at where the door handle is located. It is just like the one(s) we see on spy shots. But, if this is a concept, why would they waste money to redesign the Soul’s doors? We already know that it will be seen for the first time in New York. Once that happens this concept will just be a waste of money. Therefore, I’m going with Patrick in saying this is a teaser.
