<p>TTAC readers have suffered through <a href="http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/2011/10/weekend-weird-crush-update-kia-tam-ev-spotted-on-the-korean-freeway/">my weird crush on Kia&#8217;s Picanto/Morning-based &#8220;Tam&#8221;</a> for months now, patiently indulging my fascination with a car that&#8217;s so niche it won&#8217;t even be sold in Europe. But with Kia showing off these production images of what will be known as the Kia Ray, it seems that a lot of what I found so beguiling about this A-segment MPV will make it to production. What we&#8217;re looking at is a tiny A-segment micro-van, with the <a href="http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/2011/01/kias-spicy-morning-treat/">Picanto/Morning</a>&#8216;s 1.0 three-banger or 1.25 liter four. And, as we suspected based on <a href="http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/2011/05/are-you-ready-for-a-neo-xb-with-a-twist/">early prototype shots</a>, the car has three standard doors and one mini-slider on the passenger side, confirming that this funky little cube is half Kia Soul, half Hyundai Veloster. At a little over $11k, the Ray will also be a relatively cheap Kia, which is why it&#8217;s focused on Asian markets like Korea and China&#8230; but it&#8217;s probably too small to ever make it to the US or Europe. Scion is probably breathing a small sigh of relief&#8230;</p>
