at year end closeout, you can swipe a leftover stick shift Elantra for $11,000 or so.   Same with the Forenza. Only you get the automatic too.   But the Rio is a decent cheap car for people on a budget.   A better deal than an Echo...

Replying to: a_l_hubcaps (Aug 23, 2005 5:24 pm) Ok I understand. Your right about the new Rio. I also think that the styling of the 2002 is not as good as 2004. I would have considered a Spetra if my budget had allowed. IMO all Kias are really a good deal considering what you get for the price.
#63 of 605 New Kia Rio SPOTTED by symphonycminor Aug 29, 2005 (4:09 am)
While coming to work this morning on I-95 in Melbourne, FL, I spotted a white Kia Rio on the back of a car transport semi. Only saw it for a few brief seconds, but it was definitely the new model.   Looked very distinctive with the Euro-esque plastic bumper guards and relatively tall from my vantage point. It also appeared quite bigger than the current model. Call around to your local dealers; I'm sure they're just now getting them in stock. Replies to this message: chuck1959 (Aug 31, 2005 5:28 pm)
#64 of 605 Just Saw A 2006 Kia Rio LX by spmrebel Aug 31, 2005 (5:05 pm)
Hi all,   I was driving by a local Kia dealership here in Orange County California and noticed they had the new 2006 Kia Rio so I stopped and took a look. It was a 2006 Rio LX sedan in white with no option packages. The fit and paint job was pretty good. It had good room in front and back. The engine compartment was very well done and very clean with not a lot of clutter (kudos to the engineers). If there was any downfall to the car it was the interior. I was really disappointed with it. It looked plain and the plastics looked cheap. The plastics had a matte finish but it was completely hard plastic (similiar to plastic on a model airplane). I was expecting more I guess since my girlfriend has a 2005 Spectra EX which I consider the interior materials to be at or near the top for economy cars. Anyway, maybe I am expecting to0 much. The MSRP was 13905 which I thought was quite high since it had no power package.   Happy motoring.
#65 of 605 $13,905 by jchan2 Aug 31, 2005 (5:22 pm)
after six months, there will be the inevitable 1.9APR, $500 cashback, $1000 owner's loyalty, $500 "conquest" rebate, and a whole host of other incentives.   You could probably get a second generation Rio in six months at or below dealer invoice. Replies to this message: backy (Sep 03, 2005 5:21 pm)

Replying to: jchan2 (Aug 31, 2005 5:22 pm) I've noticed there isn't much markup on the new Rio, e.g. only $635 on the LX with no options. So even when the new Rio is available at invoice + rebates, it will still have a hard go against the likes of the Elantra GLS, which can be had with ABS/traction, A/C, power package, and automatic for about $13,500 (less with loyalty/grad/military rebates). That's for a more powerful car with more interior room--but not side curtains. So I agree the discounts and rebates will come in short order on the '06 Rio. I think it also means that we are in for a big price increase on the next-generation Elantra, assuming the Accent will be priced about the same as the Rio when comparably equipped.
