Hi
Bring it to Germany. There are match LPG-Cars and there is a Market for Hybrid-Cars
And this car has both.

JoshyLofty, no to MySpace, Twitter, Facebook, etc. I am too busy with work duties and visit so many websites every day and participate in so many, that I don’t want to venture in to those. Yeah, there are several rock shows in Austin that I’d like to go see, I don’t know, I may go to Dallas one of these days. I think the new Pininfarina-Bollore BlueCar is intriguing as all get out. But Kia’s Forte Hybrid is a much more beautiful vehicle to gander upon. It’s gonna start getting much more interesting “green-car wise” in these upcoming months.

I’m betting it will at least as good as your current Kia, JoshyLofty.

JoshyLofty-I drive a 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer GTS and love it completely! It has leather gear knob, steering wheel, 6 titanium paddle shifters fwd and rev, 650-watt Rockford Fosgate stereo, sunroof, foglights. Rally Red paint, I love my car! I like the new Forte and would’ve gone for one of those if only the Forte had been ready in the spring of ’07 when I traded my 2001 Kia Sportage 4X4 in for the Lancer. Kia and Mitsubishi are my 2 favorite carmakers and have been for a couple years now.

bryan – i actually just traded my 06 dodge in on a 2009 Kia Spectra 3 weeks ago (some b!tch ran a light and did 6K in damage to the Dodge so i needed a new car. if i could have i would have waited for Forte or Koup but state farm totaled my car out so it all worked out. it was time.) & i love it. i still plan to buy a Koup as my career right now is on the rapid incline and but the time the Koup comes out & maybe we find out more about a performance model or anything like that, i’ll have enough money to just buy it outright. But i do love my spectra. I’ve already had a better sound system put in it & i’m about to have an M3-style spoiler & some nicer rims added. fyi. whatta bout you?

jtz – amen.

Yeah, I agree with JoshLoft. I take back what I said eariler. I’m just jealous this looks better than my Forte sedan SX. I’m so Jealous. If anyone purcahses this you guys will be one of the luckiest people because your driving a hybrid with performance and style and not some ugly Prius. Plus it’ll be rare.

JoshyLofty-you got it, man, I’ll get ahold of you if I head in to Dallas. The home of Dusty Hill and Frank Beard of the band I’m listening to right now, ZZ Top! I’m grooving to the ‘Fandango’ album, one of my ZZ Top favorites.

JoshyLofty…please give me an update on what you’re driving right now. You’re not a Kia salesman, are you? That’s Kia Icarus that is a Kia salesman, IIRC. What’cher ride, man?

I agree, Kia is on a great design roll and the Forte Hybrid is no ordinary hybrid. It’s a HOT hybrid. I’d like to name it a leader but I really need more design particulars on the car and to study it some more. JoshyLofty-yep, I may go one that journey and look up the Mockingbird Station, or I’ll just Google it. I’ll look up mileage to Dallas from my home of Willcox, AZ. I know that El Paso is about 230 miles east of us here in the SE edge of Arizona. The Kia Forte would be a way to start going green and still have a great body design on your rig, eh? I’m not one that looks down on goign “green”, I think it’s a smart idea for us all to think about heading towards.

PS – the Forte Hybrid is (to me) better looking than the normal one. expect the rims, but those can always be bought later. its a D@MN good looking car. i LOVE the fog lights, tail-lights, i dunno, its just a good looking car.
