Kia had a coupe concept a few months ago with a face similar to those of European Fords. I wonder if the front end of this will carry those design cues? I hope so!

Looks exactly like a sedan version of the Kia Koup concept from NY, which Kia basically said would be a new body style for the Spectra replacement -- evidently the Forte.

I was thinking Scion tC, but baby Acura is darn accurate. If Acura is going to give up their attractive styling, then why not let Kia capitalize?
