Why would they call the Koup Spectra and the Sedan Forte? Oh, and there is a rumor about a Forte5, so, keep your eyes peeled for spy shots.

Products only with B-segment cars Compact sports cars will be similar. Hyundai will not be replacing the Azera, while Kia will not bring a European c'eed over as we will be getting the American Ceed(Forte), KIA will not replace the Optima. That American Honda Civic Coupe is very popular(7 out of 10 are coupes), and KIA wants some of that money. I think the Forte Koupe would sell ridiculously well in America.

Americans buy C-segment sedans a lot lot more than the hatches. 5 out of 6 Spectras are Sedans, While 5 out of 8 Rios are hatches. As a matter of fact, Hyundai/KIA should not consider an Accent or Rio Sedan for their Next gen Cars. Well maybe and optional Accent Sport Sedan. In which they are taking an i20 and developing a special Next gen Accent luxury Sport sedan for the next gen for the North American market.

KIA keeps changing its mind. Its bulky for aggression, and the fact that there might not be a Next Gen Optima. Actually Patrick, from what I heard they might keep the name Spectra.

I'm SO excited. "what kia soul?" is what i was thinking. I think i can wait a few months to get this car instead of the soul. SORRY SOUL, BUT THIS PUTS YOU TO SHAME! give it a tC-like glass roof & there's no question. I hope it also keeps its rear bucket-like seating in the real. Kia needs a true sports car. SHOW TOYOTA & HONDA HOW IT'S DONE KIA!!! PLEASE!!! DO NOT SKIMP OUT ON THIS CAR! ---not that i think they will. but PLEASE DEAR GOD PLEASE don't. make us all proud. side note... i don't think i've been this excited about a car before. i picture the top model to end around 22K where the genesis coupe starts. don't want a conflict between the two brands. I'll take a Lime Green (similar to Kee concept color) Koup (please retain KOUP moniker) with EVERY option. If they don't give it trick interior choices like the soul, i'm having houndstooth seats put in. i like to be different. so sue me. OMG. I’m SO excited. “what kia soul?” is what i was thinking.
