#9 of 605 Kia will introduce this car by iluvmysephia1 Dec 14, 2004 (11:12 pm)
at the NA Auto Show in Detroit on January 11, 2005. Should be fun to see how it will look. I'm talking about the 4-door sedan model, the 5-door(Rio Cinco)will debut in March of 2005, I believe in Europe. We'll start with this one, though...it looks great, the pictures of the yellow one linked in post 5. Take a look. Kia will score nicely with this Rio. 1.5L 4 cylinder motors and a longer wheelbase, wider track and more torque and power delivered to the wheels is what Kia is promoting in this new rig. Gonna be fun to check it out!

Replying to: igor2 (Jan 06, 2005 2:36 pm) Seems to be a very attractive little small car. Rear end is more stylish and less bulbous than the Spectra. Overall, from these pics... a job well done!   ~alpha
#12 of 605 5 door interesting-- 4 door boring... by csandste Jan 10, 2005 (12:07 pm)
especially when compared with the new Civic, and I say that as a Hyundai owner who wishes Hyundai/Kia the very best...

Here are the pictures of the 5 door Rio that will be presented at the Geneva Auto Show next week:   http://www.caradisiac.com/php/essai_tun/doss/doss213/pop25.php http://www.caradisiac.com/php/essai_tun/doss/doss213/pop26.php   Looks great IMHO. It seems to be shorter than the current 5-door Rio though.
#14 of 605 Looks a LOT more distinctive than the 4-door... by csandste Feb 23, 2005 (2:40 pm)
Way to go Kia. I was getting bored to death.
#15 of 605 so where's the cheap ones? by occupant1 Feb 23, 2005 (8:21 pm)
If I can get a 2005 sedan now, early in the year, for $5888 (no air, radio, or power steering), what incentive do I have to wait for the 2006 model?   Will there be a model available like that, with no options, no air conditioning, with the 5-speed, that I can get new for dirt cheap?

#16 of 605 Here by a_l_hubcaps Feb 23, 2005 (10:48 pm)
occupant1-   Maybe not THAT cheap, but yes, there will be a strippo model. See the press release. Base has no A/C, no wheel covers, no power steering. I think this is kind of cool, actually. Not many people will buy that version, but there's something neat about a car that comes with absolutely nothing...like a modern Model T or Beetle.   -Andrew L
#17 of 605 I think I like the rear view by iluvmysephia1 Feb 24, 2005 (6:08 pm)
of this 2006 Kia Rio5 better than the front view. They are calling this the Rio5, right? I saw the rear view picture on another website earlier tonight and it called the new Kia the Rio5. Very interesting design, an improvement from the last design, by far IMV(in my view). It's really got a European look and I think Kia designed it for Europe-they're growing by leaps and bounds there now.

Replying to: iluvmysephia1 (Feb 24, 2005 6:08 pm) It definitly shows that this hatchback version was designed for Europe. The Cinco was styled more for american tastes and was never a big hit in Europe. I am a hatchback fan, more for the utility of the vehicle. I actually like the styling of the old Cinco much better. This new car will have a very small cargo area behind the rear seat. My sister has a 2004 model and I like it. While this new car may drive better and have more passenger room, it will not have cargo space. No more hauling a TV behind the rear seat. No six suitcases for the families trips. There better be a good roof rack system for the new car, owners will need one. Replies to this message: chuck1959 (Jul 18, 2005 9:34 am)
