The Kia Cerato is already on sale in world markets, but we’ll be getting our first taste of it, in the form of the Forte.
Expect a three-car lineup, similar to the Elantra, with a hatchback and even a coupe model. No word on whether the hatch is based off the Cerato, or the European Cee’d.

"The new Kia Forte! Made in the same time and with as much enthusiasm as Franzia."
Thanks to Top Gear, I now read "Cee'd" aloud as "C apostrophe D."
It looks like Kia's styling is moving closer to Hyundai and further away from Peter Schreyer's VW roots. Me, I prefer the clean styling of the current Forte.
It has the same the-paint-rolled jowl as the Mazda CX-5. Do not like.
