I found these online and I'm not sure I really like the direction KIA looks to be taking... kind of generic looking. These are just renderings so I'm sure the real thing will look better.

I like everything but the front end... make it look more like the Optima: aggressive, like it wants to bite your face off.

I don't mind it at all. I find it looks really slick.
Looks more refined and upscale just like its bigger brother, the Optima. IMO, the Optima really stands out (in a good way) on the road and I sure would like to see the new Forte model line-up achieve the same result as it did in the past.
It appears Kia is finally creating a family of cars with a common theme. The European manufacturers such as BMW, Audi, MB, VW, etc... have been very successful at it for a many, many years.
It's a thumbs-up for me if it looks similar to the pictures when they come out.

Back end looks nice, BMW-ish. Side Profile looks okay, nothing special. Front profile looks aweful, like it's a Rio. The car reminds me of the Chevy Cruz. If my car's a write off and I need to buy another, I'd still prefer the 2010/2011/2012 model.
