Looks like a Rio.
Either that or a Spectra.

Was it Accent or Elantra size?

[SPIKE]

I was thinking Spectra (but they are out @ dealers)

So I have no idea...these were just taken in Cali by a friend

[Freak7882]

It's a Kia P.O.S....

No, I think it is the Spectra. I remember seeing pics somewhere. I think the Rio pics didn't have that hood junk on it.

The Rio Cinco and Spectra5s are wagonesque... so unless they drop that its probably not them. Additionally, that Optima and Amanti are too "luxury" for a car like that. Who knows, maybe they're replacing a platform.

All I can say is WHY THE TRUCK did they do that to the rear windows? Why didn't they just do that tilt angel thing, that's just teh gh3y

Yeah, too bad lexus shares a resemblance with Toyota....and GMC, Chevy, and Pontiac all look alike to. Even Infinity and Nissan share some resemblance.

I wonder why that is......oh yeah, they are all owned by each other.:hmmm:

[SPIKE]

hmm ok..

lol I was just stating that the new kia's are a little more in tuned with hyundai than ever

Also my car isn't a Toyota model rebaged like some of the other models

[Freak7882]

He didn't say any cars in particular... but I do see you're point that its stupid for Kias to look a lot like Hyundai a) because then there's no point for 2 different companies and b) there's a lot of people who just hate Kias and might let it bleed over to Hyundais that look a like.

I'm gonna say it's a Rio,

It's compact, has a small rear fender which is almost the same size as it's predecessor,
length is almost the same, Giant Greenhouse,

I'm sure it's not a new spectra as they'e just been released a few months back,

Kia's Next model's are a New Rio and an Optima Based On The NF Sonata Chassis I Think,
and a new sedona will appear in a year or 2,

I see that almost all kia's have a rear seat with adjustable headrests.
I See them on more and more car's daily,


BTW,Are thoses shot's from Irvine, California??
