This thing looks so good… are they showing it at the LA Autoshow for the US?

All of the reports I have read about the Forte say it’s not coming to EU, but wish it did, cause its even better looking car than the cee’d!

I’m not seeing much originality in design here, since it looks too much like the Mitsubishi Lancer in USA.

True, it does look a bit like Lancer if you take just a quick look at it, but I’m sure better images that we are all waiting for will reveal its unique design elements that takes the Forte apart from Lancer or Civic.
Take a look at this video and you can already see what I’m trying to say here:

I don’t know about the rest of the world, but Mitsubishi is pretty much circling the bowl here in the US (thanks in some part to Chrysler). The Forte shares some design elements with the Lancer but most people will never know since Lancers are such a rare sight on US roads. As for claims that the Forte “rips off the Civic”, I’d dispute that and say that it seems Kia did a better Civic 4-door than Honda was able to (and I really have high regard for Honda’s).

I bet once the interior is unveiled it can really differ itself from Lancer and civic.

Did anyone notice that the trim badge is SLI? Which market is that for?
