Oh, and I think it's better looking than the Golf too.

Umm that looks like a marriage of a Focus, Golf, and Seat Leon Cupra.

Not in terms of looks, but in terms of business and the segment yeah. Kia and Hyundai turned up the heat at the same time. Kia is a thing of their own really. They snuck in and took the segment while Hyundai moved up and stole Honda's seat while they were taking a nap. You can't throw a rock without hitting a new Sonata

I think Kia/Hyundai has a great and very complete line-up, or will by 2013.

The front grille really isn't working for me, otherwise it looks nice.

It will probably come with 140 hp from the new 1.6 DI motor that's also used in the new Accent/Veloster

the Koreans are kicking ass and taking names, but call it ego or whatever, I still wouldn't be caught dead driving either name plate. Either brand just isn't there yet. Hyundai is getting close thought.

A Golf and Fiesta had sex...
I drove an Elantra and a Sonata the other day. Anyone would be a fool not to consider Hyundai/Kia when buying their next car. |

I hope they've improved the safety. The last Rio had awful driver fatality rates. See my "I drove a suv because I feel safer" thread for the actual number and context.
