What does this have the xD doesnt? Maybe I am missing interior shots that blow the xD away. Havent heard anything re: power and handling to state that blows the Scion away.

Disclaimer: I have no stock or special regard for Scion. I just see this as a competitor. too early to say it knocks the xD's socks off.]]>Mar 14th 2008 2:53PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/14/production-kia-soul-gets-impromptu-online-reveal/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/14/production-kia-soul-gets-impromptu-online-reveal/Mar 14th 2008 2:57PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/14/production-kia-soul-gets-impromptu-online-reveal/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/14/production-kia-soul-gets-impromptu-online-reveal/
If other (very) recent HAG products are any indication, I also wouldn't be surprised to find better-finished interior materials in the Soul. I was surprised by the unrelenting hard and shiny black plastic in the Scion.

The biggest problem for the Soul, I'm guessing, will be Kia's dealers. It's easy to buy into the "cool" schtick when a buying experience is as slick as Scion's. Kia, not so much.]]>Mar 16th 2008 2:56PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/14/production-kia-soul-gets-impromptu-online-reveal/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/14/production-kia-soul-gets-impromptu-online-reveal/Mar 14th 2008 12:55PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/14/production-kia-soul-gets-impromptu-online-reveal/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/14/production-kia-soul-gets-impromptu-online-reveal/Mar 14th 2008 12:56PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/14/production-kia-soul-gets-impromptu-online-reveal/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/14/production-kia-soul-gets-impromptu-online-reveal/Mar 14th 2008 1:02PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/14/production-kia-soul-gets-impromptu-online-reveal/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/14/production-kia-soul-gets-impromptu-online-reveal/Mar 14th 2008 1:33PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/14/production-kia-soul-gets-impromptu-online-reveal/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/14/production-kia-soul-gets-impromptu-online-reveal/
For having 4 wheels, 4 doors and a steering wheel. :D]]>Mar 14th 2008 2:03PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/14/production-kia-soul-gets-impromptu-online-reveal/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/14/production-kia-soul-gets-impromptu-online-reveal/

If that's the case, then Nissan should sue Toyota for "ripping" them off.]]>Mar 14th 2008 3:13PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/14/production-kia-soul-gets-impromptu-online-reveal/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/14/production-kia-soul-gets-impromptu-online-reveal/
The 1st Gen is based off of the bB.
The 2nd Gen is based off of the Corolla Rumion.

That's why it got so porky. It came out before the Japanese version.]]>May 12th 2008 4:57PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/14/production-kia-soul-gets-impromptu-online-reveal/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/14/production-kia-soul-gets-impromptu-online-reveal/Mar 14th 2008 1:10PM
