Lokey Kia

The 2010 Kia Forte, Soul and 2011 Sorento all earned top safety pick honors from the Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).  This is good news for Kia, as its highly marketed, Soul, continues to reap the rewards. Kelly Blue Book calls the Kia Soul, one of the "10 Coolest New Cars Under $18,000."

If that weren't enough...

Kia's latest jaunt into automotive design came up with their highly anticipated Forte concept. Now, the Korean auto maker is set to introduce a 5-door hatchback Forte variant to the world.

This 5-door hatchback builds on the Forte sedan model and their coupe (or Koup as they are calling it) with an extended chassis and rear entrance.
