2008 New York Auto Show: Kia Concept Pre-Launch Party

2008 New York Auto Show: Kia Concept Pre-Launch Party

In case anyone would fail to realize that an attractive compact coupe would be aimed at young people, Kia saw fit to preview its new concept partially under a sheet at Manhattan's trendy Exit Art gallery, surrounded by bizarre sculpture, lots of wine and low lighting.

The car will be formally unveiled in the less-hip Javits Convention Center at Kia's NYIAS booth tomorrow along with a "significantly updated" Optima. -- Brady Holt, Student Journalist

I think it looks fine. Very promising, actually.
 
I see some hints of the Ford Focus in the headlights, but only hints.
 
Thumbs up so far.
