Another roofline clearly influenced by the Aston Zagato. Like it, but hardly original.

Or GTR? I am sure the roofline of the GTR concept was around well before the Aston?

It looks almost like a modern muscle car, in the way that that 350 and 370Z tries but so dismally failed. I am a little disappointed that its more muscle car than budget R8, but it's still a beautiful thing, and possibly Kia's first credible car!

I was impressed with the Cee'd GT when I took a look round one, but this looks so much better and you get the Kia warranty.

Not keen on the front, the headlights need to be moved to a different position, it just looks odd.
The side and rear view is nice though.

I like this car...a lot. RWD, nice proportions, simple/unfussy details.

This is interesting... it seems to have a little bit of everything cool in it..

A twist of Buick Riviera..


A spoonfull of Corvette haunches..


..and a dash of Konigsegggggge roof line..





A disparate sum of parts maybe, but the overall looks damn fine.

If KIA can get a good engine and drivetrain package into this then it'll sell like hot cakes...

Looks good.

Add a stereo and I might even borrow money to buy one

+1 some influences also that vw from 5 years ago, but a compliment too.

This would be an interesting addition to the mainstream motoring world's sea of gray. Get it made.

So basically a 2+2 350z that's 300kg lighter, and made by kia so it'll be cheap too...

Shut up and take my money already!!!

So a 300+bhp two litre turbo with a manual gearbox in a 2+2 coupe weighing 1300kg? Sounds like exactly what the power-junkies wanted from the GT86, I wonder if any of them will actually buy it if it's released.

I never buy new cars, but I'd certainly take a look at one of these at 2 or 3 years .. looks a fantastic spec, but I would want the stereo too. Just a little light one.....

Have never, ever, ever even considered buying a Kia before, so they must be doing something right. I'll have a 'S' please with 350 bhp. smile

Seems a very interesting car. Good to see more 2+2 Coupes being produced.
