Seems pretty cool,

173hp, 6sp, and looks very advance tec. wise. Seems like even Kia is picking up on to the "sport" scene. Looks very "Civic" but with more styling.

Yes, that's Rio. A riced-out Rio at that. Looks like Subaru got trashed one night and had a fling with Kia, and 9 months later...

I wouldn't be caught dead in a Kia. One of my friends used to have ^^^ that body style Rio, and it would grind every time he shifted to second, and the car only had 75,000 miles on it. It's cute that Kia is attempting something, and I'm sure they'll sell plenty of them. After all, they're what, $15,000?
