India, Africa, and South America mostly get the Euro Lineup car, but they get a few NKAC cars as well. Accents are popular Globally, and Even though its an NKAC car it gets sold in many of the Euro Lineup countries.

Maybe if you Euro Guys keep begging for the Forte at http://www.kia-buzz.com, where the Company people will get to see you begging for it, they might bring it over?

NKAC=North America, Korea, Australia, China have nearly the same driving tastes, Needs, and wants out of cars. Thats why we are usually considered almost the same market.

Australia and China gets some cars from the Euro lineup. China more so than Austrailia.

Euro Lineup=Rest of the World.

WTF is wrong with auto manufacturers? Why the hell is it that every time something is branded ECO it has to be turned into a hideous, puke inducing vehicle.

Why the hell can’t KIA simply offer a hybrid Forte SX with sports suspension and the decent looks it already has?

I simply don’t get it.

Just read on Green Car Congress that Hyundai is taking pre-launch orders for their Elantra LPI hybrid… http://www.greencarcongress.com/2009/06/lpi-hybrid-20090617.html#more (Green Car Congress is a good site for lots of information globally on improvements to vehicle technology).

This car looks like what it is-a test car. I’d be lying to y’all if I said I wasn’t interested in returning to Kia by trading in my ’08 Mitsubishi Lancer GTS for one of these. I said interested-not dead set on it. Keep things straight in your mind. Just kidding. I’ll be waiting with baited breath for more info. on this beautiful new Kia motorcar.

The taillights are…rice…What else can be said? I would bet that the Forte’s designer, Peter Schreyer, doesn’t approve. Wheels look strange too, like there was something that went wrong in the casting process.

Not too fond of the styling but people like to get noticed for their efforts and if this is the way Kia thinks is right I guess we have no choice~ At least the technology is good.
