2010 KIA Forte at US dealers now. Prices start at $13,695.

The Transformative KIA Forte Sedan is on US Dealer lots ready to go. The EX with its Class Leading 156 Horsepower 4 Cylinder Engine is rated at 27 City 36 Highway with 5 speed Automatic Transmission.

KIA motors, a South Korean Automaker (parent company Hyundai) is usually known for bargain basement fuel efficient yet, not so inspiring transportation. The KIA Forte like the SOUL is here to change 1 thing: the uninspiring part. There is a Forte KOUP testing right now ready to take the discontinued Hyundai Tiburon's spot in the cheap sport coupe sector (performance-wise). The KOUP will be on dealer lots within a few months. A 5 door Hatch is also in the works.


Did I also mention that the Forte is nearly $1000 cheaper than the smaller Honda Fit that gets less MPG?

This is a nice, clean design. There was one in Southern Cali about a month ago (silver) and it got my attention. I told my girl that it was a Kia and she couldn't believe it (car had nothing to indicate what it was)

Your Honda Civic clone JUST hit the dealer lots. The Toyota Corolla is an established model that is very well known around the world. Maybe you should start staying clear of the Hyundai tail pipes because the effects of the fumes are really starting to show on your bogus claims.

More horsepower and more MPG doesn't necessarily make it better.. Just ask the makers of the Cobalt.

One who the f*** cares this car is an appliance. Two why aren't these companies ridiculed for their blatant lack of integrity. This kind of copying is pathetic. POS

Since when is a post on another forum considered an "article" I can hardly wait to see the New York Times quote an "article" from Autospies.com. I can see it now:

"Agent Yahoo from Autospies is reporting that he thinks that Navigation packages are going the way of the dodo thanks to the Apple Nav app. Sell all your Garmin stock!"
