    I have noticed the grille design has changed from the No 3 concept and the panoramic glass roof looks more ordinary. Other than that, it looks pretty close to the show car!

    well, it isnt so easy to mass produce the glass shapes used in the Concept’s windshield and roof. wud be nice though.

    I think Kia is pretty serious about the panoramic glass roof. That’s pretty cool.

    And the same sweep-back headlamp config. looks to be in place for the production No.3, too, which is cool.

    PS – its SO tiny next to the SUV. not a bad thing. & when this car comes out, is it safe to say its the closest thing kia has to the Honda Fit? I think they should for sure release it in the US & maybe replace the Rio with it. OR keep the base cheap-o Rio for the crowd in the price bracket, and pit this against the Fit as a more “premium” mini-car.

    Notice how they parked this next to a KIA Rondo/Carens to show that this is not a Rondo Replacement. This is a Rio sized car most definately. Joshy the Fit is very overrated, and overpriced. This No .3 would be a Fit nuker if priced and packaged right for the US market. The styling is fresh, this thing will have over 40 MPG, plus more power than the Fit. While the Fit has 35 MPG, and dont forget the Fit has those ancient door handles.

    Borris, the roof in a car that size might not be safe. Notice how Ford opted out of having the Fiesta carry a panoramic roof as well.

    “Notice how they parked this next to a KIA Rondo/Carens to show that this is not a Rondo Replacement.” That would be a Mohave. I like the realistic wheels!

    Yeah Greg, that does look like an Borrego/Mohave when you look at the thing up close.
