looks good. where exactly is this?
November 12th, 2008 at 5:52 pm
Looks really nice. It’s from Korea, I guess pics were taken at some airport or a shopping mall.
This is my favourite combination for the Soul. Vanilla white with dragon vinyl, “buterfly” or “flower” alloys (forgot how Kia named them) and black bumper skirts.

love it. i hope USA gets the roof rails as well. i dont like it w/out em.
November 12th, 2008 at 6:18 pm
Why wouldn’t we get roof rails. What vehicle has optional roof rails?
November 12th, 2008 at 6:22 pm
I’m sure they will be available in US. At least optiona, If not standard!
So guys are you getting excited about Soul making an official US debut?

There’s a review over at Edmunds Inside Line, in case anyone’s interested. Car and Driver has also reviewed on recently. Both are mostly positive.
November 12th, 2008 at 6:43 pm
I think the roof rails will be optional cuz I’ve seen them on some but not on others.
November 12th, 2008 at 7:03 pm
Ok. I hope they make it to the States, becuse they give a more rugged look to the Soul… I just read the review and it’s goooooood! Not many Kias get such a good review from Edmunds, so this is a good start for it’s US journey.

I hope roofracks are optional, cuz I personally think roofracks are ugly on a smaller car!

good enough!!!

Each US dealer will get a Production ready Korean Version Soul for Show in December. We can not drive them because they are not US legal, but they are for display in the show rooms. The soul will be available around March 09 in the US.

Looks very good, I like it. It’s in very great combination.
November 12th, 2008 at 10:59 pm
Yeah, it’s a neat combination. White, silver and black. I love it!!
November 13th, 2008 at 3:25 am
greg TONS if not ALL SUVs have OPTIONAL roof rails. i’ve seen even sorentos without them & then others with.
November 13th, 2008 at 3:30 am
sportage rails are std. Mohave too. atleast thats true here in UAE.
November 13th, 2008 at 10:18 am
they really should use the R series diesel in this… perfect engine for some thing like this~ look forward to trying that engie out.

I think this picture was taken in Incheon Airport in Seoul. I was there 2 weeks ago and they had the Kia Soul and the Hyundai Genesis coupe on display.
November 13th, 2008 at 3:32 pm
So how does it look like in-person. I assume you had been in a rush to catch the airplane , but most probably took a minute to take a look at it.
What do you think of Soul Andy?
November 13th, 2008 at 5:47 pm
The only vehicle that has optional roof rails in the US would be the Sedona. Roof rails are standard on Rondo, Sportage, Sorento, Sedona LX and EX, and Borrego. Crossbars are optional though.
November 13th, 2008 at 6:44 pm
not true… i’ll include a picture proving it. this model i found is a base sorento and doesn’t have any sort of roof rail system @ all! i’ve personally owned a new explorer w/out rails, my best friend (& kindof room mate) has a 2007 Honda Pilot with no roof rails of any sort as well…
PS – click my name for an interesting sorento pic i found while finding a pic in reference to Greg.

What model year is that? It seems to me like it was base model from 2006…
-
Perhaps you both were right. What if earlier Sorento models didn’t have roof rails, while 08 or 09 models get more standard equippment and that includes roof-rails?
-
Hey that’s great, is that a photoshop or a real Sorento pick-up? What’s the source?
November 13th, 2008 at 6:59 pm
That would be the base model 2005 Sorento. Starting in 2007 roof rails were standard on American spec Sorento. I was referring to 2009 models anyway. That Sorento pickup is sooo awesome! KIA NEEDS TO MAKE IT! Put a 4 cyl in it, and it would take off!
November 13th, 2008 at 7:01 pm
“The only vehicle that has optional roof rails…” I was talking about Kia vehicles.
November 13th, 2008 at 8:24 pm
08 Base Sorento does not come with rails. But it is standard on LX and Up
November 13th, 2008 at 10:29 pm
Oh, I totally forgot about the base Sorento. Williams doesn’t stock them, and Kia doesn’t acknowledge the base Sorento on their options page.
November 14th, 2008 at 7:15 am
i was talking about ANY SUV anyways. like i said… numerous times… anyways the source for the sorento truck is unknown. i searched “sorento” on yahoo images and it was on there. it also had interior images of a right hand drive sorento (same truck) with an in dash nav (didn’t think that was avail. on current sorentos) and a pic from the front OUT the rear. reminded me a lot of a nissan frontier. i’m assuming it was real not photoshop but i’ve never seen a sorento truck… hmmm…
November 14th, 2008 at 10:00 am
Greg, even in the US roofrails are optional on some LX Rondo’s…
November 14th, 2008 at 10:28 am
Sorento truck is Photoshop

June 17th, 2009 at 1:21 pm
