Because, I want every car I own to be enveloped with dragons!

At least the searcher doesn't look bad.

It looks like it offers a roomy, airy interior with decent materials and great visibility in a compact, easy-to-park package. It even has some interesting angles on the exterior, though I hope the production model's standard wheels aren't much smaller than the SOUL Searcher's 18s.

I don't think Kia is going to capture much of the Scion crowd with its conventional dealer network and (likely) weak aftermarket support, but this car is shaping up to be a great bargain as a funky, versatile grocery-getter. Good on them.]]>Mar 4th 2008 7:16PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/04/geneva-2008-kia-bears-its-souls/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/04/geneva-2008-kia-bears-its-souls/Mar 4th 2008 7:25PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/04/geneva-2008-kia-bears-its-souls/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/04/geneva-2008-kia-bears-its-souls/Mar 4th 2008 7:34PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/04/geneva-2008-kia-bears-its-souls/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/04/geneva-2008-kia-bears-its-souls/Mar 5th 2008 7:32PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/04/geneva-2008-kia-bears-its-souls/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/04/geneva-2008-kia-bears-its-souls/Mar 4th 2008 7:52PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/04/geneva-2008-kia-bears-its-souls/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/04/geneva-2008-kia-bears-its-souls/kia could gain some clients.. not me though.. ]]>Mar 4th 2008 8:42PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/04/geneva-2008-kia-bears-its-souls/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/04/geneva-2008-kia-bears-its-souls/
Either way, I'm interested in seeing if they succeed in making the production version less of a snore. I'd probably still stick with a Scion, though, even if they have gotten a bit porky.]]>Mar 4th 2008 9:01PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/04/geneva-2008-kia-bears-its-souls/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/04/geneva-2008-kia-bears-its-souls/Mar 4th 2008 9:05PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/04/geneva-2008-kia-bears-its-souls/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/04/geneva-2008-kia-bears-its-souls/
"It's about the same length as Kia's Rio subcompact car, but on a wheelbase slightly greater than that of a Subaru Outback. Soul seats five in two rows. This, too, suggests the use of a modified Rio platform, though Kia has yet to confirm the Soul's foundation."

It's no wonder that Hyundai and Kia are slowly becoming my favorite car manufacturers. They know how to really put passion into a new vehicle design.
