Wait a year and you can get a used fully loaded one for under $10k lol.

Its a cool looking car, but I would never buy a Kia.

The Soulless' highest priced option is still less HP than the xB2, and for those that liked the squareness of the 1st gen xB, the Nissan Cube is coming out, with all the underpowered goodness of high MPG.

The Soulless has a problem: the ship left port 2 years ago. From the straight rip-off designs on the front and sides, the Soulless has only 2 more years left on that design before it is deader than roadkill.

It may be cheaper, but it's still a Kia.

I would expect a Kia to be cheaper than it's competitors, so no surprise there.

I wouldn't buy one, but you do get a lot of value for the price, like the original (gen 1) Scions.

Go to the website and check out the Kia Koup, it's a nice tC/civic fighter.
