    A handsome, sensible car (with a six-speed!) that will likely undercut the tC by a couple thousand? They could have kids with their parents' money lined up around the block for these.


    I actually rather like it. The styling is a little derivative, but it works well.

    Hmmmm..
    I like the interior of this Civic-copy.


    But ya cant out-Civic, the Civic exterior.


    I guess its their Civic duty to be as Civic to the Civic as Civically possible.


    I predict..
    It will Civically sell, due to the fact that its Civic-like. But also because it not Civic.


    Oh..
    This isnt a CIVIC?


    I couldnt tell.
    Fuckin ripped the front clip right off.
    Id be more amused.. if they worked a 3/5dr hatch into the mold..


    Until then..
    Its still a Civic.


    And they (KIA) still sucks.

    Wow, Korean cars are getting pretty darn attractive! Now let's see if the performance can match the looks.


    I'm getting a loaner Hyundai in a week, and would you believe I'm actually excited? Maybe because it's a Genesis V8, but still...

    @pauljones: Most of the time, those diffusers are just factory-rice-- they don't really do much without the underbody fairing to get the airflow to the diffuser smoothly in the first place. I would bet that the leading edge of that 'diffuser' is basically a big parachute, much like most rear bumpers are.

    It's kind of like a better looking Civic coupe. And it's better looking than the Scion.

    But, typically, Redheads tend to be vastly undervalued on today's market. Angie Everhart Rule is one such example. Quite possibly the hottest model to ever appear in an SI Swimsuit edition, and yet that was about the only place she has been seen to my knowledge.
