Autobytel Names Kia Rio "Most Improved"

We only have one joke that goes along with the award of "most improved," an honor mainly reserved for stoners whose moms worked in the high-school office. Now, Autobytel has named the 2006 Kia Rio Most Improved New Car for 2006, meaning it offers a better ride and more standard safety features, passenger space and horsepower than its competitors. With the base Rio starting at $11,110 (inc. destination), there's not much in its range to compare it with. Still, it's good to know at least one carmaker cares about stoners' English majors' motoring needs.
