As we all know, Kia will unveil an all new, Soul based, concept car at the 2009 North American International Auto Show. Kia’s press conference and concept’s official unveiling are scheduled for January 11th at 2:20-2:45 pm.

So far, the company has not revealed us much of information on it’s secret show-stopper, but we have been informed that the concept will be wearing the Soulster nomenclature and it will demonstrate the flexibility of the original Soul design.

In addition, Kia has also released a pair of Soulster teaser images. None of them has revealed us much of the exterior design, but both hint at something that’s more “fun to drive” than original Kia Soul. Let it be a two door Soul coupe or a soft-top Kia Soul, this concept seems to be attractive and should gain a lot of attention among the visitors of Kia stand in Detroit.

What I wanted to show you today, is the first rendering of Kia Soulster. Made of two teaser shots put together, the final picture gives us a great first-look at the Soulster concept car. I’m not saying that this is how the final shape will look like, but it can’t be far away from that, right?

    Although I would have liked to see a soft/hard back version, like the Freelander. :)

    Cool its the Retona successor. It’s back in concept form though. To me this puts Kia ahead of the game because if you can’t afford the $13,000 5 door you can just get a roadster for less making the Soul series much easier to afford than the Scion and that that Cube.

    And if it were up to me I would have obliged, Greg. I know it’s important to you and I could’ve waited till this Friday to have seen it, really. Oh…well.
