himi… how’d u know i had a passion for shopping? haha. I think the new spectra should have a “5″ variant and make it a fastback hatch. much like the OLD spectra (circa 2002?) & the Mazda has the option on the current 6. it would look sweet, IMO. but it’s already a hot car.

As for the Pro_cee’d… i hope the SX model will be more than it is in current form. i.e. more than just fog lamps, bumpers, & a spoiler. maybe an upsized engine or turbo would be nice. paddle shifters? am i asking for too much????

I was driving home last night & i was behind an 08 (had paper tags) Spectra SX in metallic blue… it got me thinking… should i get a lime green one (if it actually is made) SX with a stick? or auto? i currently have a 5 spd auto in my Dodge but i don’t know much about Kia’s manuals…

I dont think its going to europe because cee’d has already replaced it there. But I still feel pro_cee’d is a better car.

You should get both, JoshyLofty!:) Soul for shopping and Spectra for driving to work.

Yes, We noticed the parking sensors. But these were spotted in an earlier Spy shot.

holy hell this is exciting! a nav & rear parking assistance!? (did anyone else notice the latter?) so should i get the Soul or the Spectra SX?! If the soul comes with Nav, tho, I gotta get that.

& yes, i noticed the Soul in the background…

I hope that navigation comes to north America. That would really compete with the Civic. The Civic is the best selling car in U.S.

True, we could call it a cee’d sedan also. Next generation Spectra(Forte) will be based on the same platform as European built cee’d hatch.

On this one, I think I can see the lower ‘lip’ of H-grilles of Kia.
