I just hope they don’t follow Honda’s shoes when it comes to hybrids. Word is that the insight is less fuel efficient than the Prius. So even when they produce hybrids, Kia needs groundbreaking mpgs not just a hybrid around and under the Prius’s mpg. Otherwise, how are they to put a dent in Ameriaca’s best selling hybbrid?

Australia already has the infrastructure in place for LPG refueling, please release it Australia ASAP, we need such vehicles years ago!

Get an edge over the Prius and CiViC hybrids, have the Forte/Cerato LPi available with a tow bar and full size spare wheel.

Cars will NOT all be hybrid. In fact, it has been proven that hybrids aren’t better for the economy.

Looks like Kia is getting serious about being a real player. I bought a Spectra to get me though the next five years (four now) because fuel will be more expensive and cars will all be hybrid.

This is what Kia needs to gain a good reputation. Kia is still suffering from a stigma of low quality cars. But so far mine hasn’t had any problems. I’m very pleased with it and love the good gas mileage.. 30 mpg. So, 40 or 50 mpg will be even better for my next car.

Nice design…and surely the U.S. will get at least the new Rio hybrid, right? We should get the Forte sedan hybrid, too. But it looks like we won’t be getting it. I would believe we’ll get the small Rio hybrid, though.
