Kia Koupe Spectracular

Or is that Fortefied? Anyway, the forthcoming Spectra/Forte/XK (neé Koup) has been caught with only a little camo by the guys at Kia-World. And by the looks of things, it will be a Koupe-tacular little partner to the US-bound Soul hatch.

    Coupes? Is anyone buying coupes?

    There are several Hyundai/Kia dealers in Central Ohio and from what I understand from others and my own buying experiences is that most (except Ricart) are pretty good here. Don't judge a brand by its dealers. Mark, Hyundai has learned a lot about crash worthiness and engine design since then - once they had replaced most of the Mitsubishi drive trains back with their own stuff back in 99 is when they introduced the 10yr/100k mile warranty.

    John Horner: I don't know if it's just me, but I've been seeing a spike in the numbers of Toyota Celicas (last generation) and Scion tC's on the road. These FWD "sporty" coupes aren't such a bad thing, light weight, decent fuel efficiency, etc. - should be a hit with commuters (daily drivers, sure) or college kids. I saw the concept at the NY NAIAS and wasn't impressed at the Civic clone. When the camo comes off, we'll see.

    We need more FWD sporty coupes. Life is too short to suffer, say, a Dodge Caliber.
