 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. http://www.kia.com/#/2010forte?page=power&vehicle=koup Discuss. -------------------- 1996 Toyota Celica ST 25th Anni. Edition #461

^ NO. NONONONONONONONONONONO.
Did I mention no? There are similarities, but that design looks like ASS. Stock rims are sucked in to all hell, the curves on the side are weird, the body itself curves in like a 70's American sedan...the grill on the front is UGLY. The middle space between the fog light mounting holes, and the mounting holes themselves, do look awfully familiar. But I consider it an insult to my car and the 6GC community to compare the two. No. This post has been edited by SwissFerdi: Oct 12, 2009 - 5:06 PM -------------------- '97 ST \ Eibach \ KYB \ Kenwood \ Alpine \ Cusco \ OEM+ [sold 10/18]

No. apparently I hit a nerve. Sorry. I'll just leave it at that. I was just pointing out another fairly obvious copy from Hyundai/Kia. -------------------- '99 Celica GT - Sold
