@ K-Sport

The Cerato did fail in the UK thanks to its exterior styling and unusal package. Most U.S and Korean tailored Kia’s do in the UK. The Magentis is selling slow. The Sportage and Sorento sell quite well though. The Cee’d is becoming increasingly popular here since it has style and space unlike the U.S & Korean tailored Cerato. I hear the Fotre should debut at the Paris motorshow in October.

cee’d replaced the cerato, which wasn’t really successfull so we can say it failed to bring more people to Kia brand.
The British Auto Show will have three Soul concepts, Kee coupe and ex_cee’d cabrio coupe. I call these car a dream concept line-up.
I’m pretty sure Kia will have the most attractive stand at this years British Auto Show!

So does that mean all 3 Soul concepts, the Koup and the “Spectra” sedan will be there? I reckon the Soul will boost sales here in the UK but there is no way will the Spectra/Forte go on sale here since the Cerato/Spectra5 failed.

I’m attending the London motorshow so I’ll keep an ear out!

Doesn’t the A/B/C pillar window angle looks very much like the new Nissan GT-R…

I firmly believe this would be my next new ride…and my 1st K-Car.

The soul: It is easier to manouver than spectra because of short overhangs and wheelbase, you sit higher up than in spectra and its a fresh model. There are also more options on soul than spectra. Atleast I assume its so because Kia says that the customers can design their Souls to their lifestyles when purchasing.
