Are You Sould On Kia's Updated Soul?
Like the Subaru Impreza, Kia’s Soul is a car that I’ve nursed a soft spot for ever since it became the first car I ever reviewed for TTAC. When friends approach me asking for advice about practical, flexible low-cost cars, the Soul is often one of my first suggestions, and nobody has ever regretted at least test-driving one. The Soul earned further brownie points from me during the Detroit Auto Show a few months back, when our rental Soul carted us through a nasty snowstorm with aplomb. So, like the Impreza, I was a little bit nervous when Kia announced they would be updating the Soul at the New York Auto Show.

- 3-On-The-Tree Son has a 2016 Mustang GT 5.0 and I have a 2009 C6 Corvette LS3 6spd. And on paper they are pretty close.
- 3-On-The-Tree Same as the Land Cruiser, emissions. I have a 1985 FJ60 Land Cruiser and it’s a beast off-roading.

This is close to my dream vehicle, which is probably impossible, given the constraints of space and physics: I'd like to own a vehicle about this size, weight and with this level of fuel economy, but I'd like to be able to fold the rear seats and have enough space to hold a few sheets of plywood (even if they have to sit on top of the wheelwells) AND be able to close the rear cargo door. Chrysler's first generation of minivans were close, but for now I'll have to stick with a folding trailer.
Steve McQueen would make a moped look cool. That color is calf turd brown and I can't wait for it to go away. Bring out some screeming neon colors like Plymouth tried in the 60's, that woul be cool.
