2010 Kia Soul Plus Review

2010 Kia Soul Plus Review

Last month we reviewed the 2010 Kia Soul Sport, which we found to be a step in the right direction if they want to compete with the Scion xB, Nissan Cube, and Honda Fit. It wasn’t great, but worth a look. This week, Kia dropped off another 2010 Soul – this time of the “+” [...]

2010 Kia Forte Review

2010 Kia Forte Review

Kia’s motto, “The Power to Surprise” has been all fluff up until recently. With the Kia Soul released this year and now the Forte, I’m looking forward to whatever else this car maker has up their Korean sleeves.

Kia showed off their new Koup Concept at SEMA this year. Unveiled at the NY Auto Show earlier this year, Kia is gauging reactions to see if they should put something like this into production.
This “hip” new Kia sports a 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine pushing out 290 horsepower, moving through an AWD drivetrain and a [...]

Kia Ex_Cee’d Concept

Honestly, I never thought I’d be writing about Kia for AutomoBlog, but their latest attempt at being sporty deserves a little bit of attention. The awkwardly named Ex_Cee’d concept comes from Peter Schreyer, who used to be the designer for VW and Audi.
