Whoops, I just read that the Kia Koup Concept was designed at Kia Motors Irvine, California design center, and not in South Korea.

Replying to: acura23cl (Mar 20, 2008 6:20 pm) How so? I was born in '83 and I don't really know the history. Could someone fill me in on what paisan is saying?   In the 80s Honda and Toyota basically sold econobox FWD cars that were higher quality, cheaper price and better on gas than the American cars on the market.   In the 00s we are seeing Hyundai and Kia doing to H/T what H/T did to the Big 3 in the 80s. It's definitely a good thing.   -mike
#7 of 14 Good analogy... by iluvmysephia1 Apr 02, 2008 (6:21 am)
and I just wanted to point out that the Kia Koup is one of Peter Schreyer's new designs. Peter Schreyer is the new design Chief at Kia. He came to Kia from Audi Motors. You will see a bit of Audi in his designs, naturally. But he's designed a concept Coupe called the Kia Kee that I think some of you might like, too.     I wonder if Kia will replicate that two-part sweep across headlamp when they produce the car for real's. Interesting look for headlights and a beautiful new Coupe, I mean Koup, design from Kia Motors. Replies to this message: joe97 (Jun 22, 2008 4:56 pm)

I guess it's a good thing they didn't use the word 'Koncept'

Replying to: iluvmysephia1 (Apr 02, 2008 6:21 am) Here is my favorite from Peter Schreyer since he arrived at Kia:   ex_cee'd cabrio concept - of course, based on the popular cee'd/i30 variants:

"ex_cee'd cabrio concept..."   Nice looking cabrio!
#11 of 14 I can see why you like it, joe97... by iluvmysephia1 Jun 28, 2008 (2:06 pm)
it's gonna start getting really interesting to look at the new Kia's coming out. I have always felt that powertrain-wise they have been solid. I've owned two Kia's(so far) and have loved them both, hence my Edmunds nickname. And with an unbeatable Warranty, might I add, too.   Now to get to work producing some new "green" vehicles affordable for the masses.
#12 of 14 good intentions...bad concept by etanretla Apr 10, 2009 (10:50 am)
why does it have to look like the civic coupe?..the problem with korean cars is that they are hardly original in appearance...a lot of their models closely resemble those of class-leading brands... Replies to this message: j2j (Jul 27, 2009 12:54 am)

Replying to: etanretla (Apr 10, 2009 10:50 am) Doesn't really look like the Civic, has a much more Audi/VW vibe to it (which makes sense since the designer, Schreyer, came from Audi and VW).   Plus, have you seen the Accord? Styling cues borrowed from everywhere.
#14 of 14 Kia SOULSTER PICK UP TRUCK by velvethammer Oct 03, 2009 (7:14 pm)
Does anyone know a definate date on production of the Kia Soulster vehicle? I want to change vehicles and don't know if I should hold out for it or not. Can anyone give me a resource to check for the answer to this question? I contacted my local Kia dealer and they don't have any info on it. J. H, St. Pete, Fl...
