I'd love it if they put a v8 in this car since they already have one they could use.

Neither. 4 cylinder.
But that 4 cylinder has more power than the previous V6.

It's the same powerhouse as the new sonatas.

The base models get the 2.4L GDI engine with about 200HP

the upper models get the 2.0L Turbo which puts out close to 300HP

A hybrid version is also coming down the pipe....i think that might be 2012 though. It'll be kia's first hybrid
