This may be a bit early but has anyone heard of KIA changing or upgrading the KOUP for 2011 other than the SX-R version?

Yeah I believe the Hover mode feature is added to it. I had a guy comment that it looks like my car wants to fly by the style of it.

(Roads? roads? where we're going we don't need roads.)
The radio should (emphasis on SHOULD) be the new Kia/Microsoft UVO system. Touchscreen and what not. You can Google it and get more info, but it looks pretty sweet. Kia is saying they'll be available come Summer 2010. Unfortunately for us current Forte/Koup owners, the system is not going to be swappable into our cars; it'll only be available in new cars.

Youtube video on it:
I like this alot, I want to get a new koup because of this. Every time I tell my car to call my friend A.J. my car calls Adrian!! I get SO SO SO frustrated :( and in this UVO system video he said a really complicated name and it came out perfectly. I am always so frustrated whenever I need to call someone swiftly and easily and it keeps messing up and not calling the right person, that happens ALOT, so I just sort of quit calling people all together. Do I have an accent or something?!?! (I was born and raised in america)

But my rant aside, this system really looks like a genuinely nice piece of work!

Just create a speed dial button on your phone for AJ and dial your phone - it will still go through the car audio system for the conversation.
glad i didn't get my koup yet until summer time haha, deffinatly getting it with this but only 250 songs you can store on the hard drive :(, wish you can put a SD card in it for more space or something
I heard a rumor of a Turbo charged, 250HP version coming in 2012. :eek:

2011 Koup

Does anyone know when the 2011 Koup will be in dealerships? And is the UVO system going to be in the Koup?
I'd like to know this too. Can't find any info online.
I am going to make this thread a sticky. Any info or rumors we read lets post it here. I have been searching for this type of info also with no luck.
good I idea, I have mine all ready but I wanna know too

new here, still deciding on whether to buy a Koup, but saw this and thought it might be of interest, it's the 2012 version though...

2012 Kia Forte Koup to get turbocharged 4-cylinder - egmCarTech

The 2010 Kia Forte Koup is currently offered in two different trim-levels including the EX and SX. The Forte Koup EX is powered by a 156-hp 2.0L 4-cylinder, while the SX is powered by a 173-hp 2.4L 4-cylinder. Now what if you added a turbocharger to either- you’d have a really fun Korean Koup or coupe, or whatever you want to call it.

According to Tom Loveless, vice president of sales for Kia Motors America, a turbocharged engine may find its way under the hood of the 2012 Kia Forte Koup.
2011 kia forte turbo 2012? Typo??

NO typo lol I've seen that on the web 2
also my dealer seems to think it might be here even before then.. but lol I could not wait another one to two years:D to buy my Koup
I'm looking into buying a Koup SX in the next week or so... should I wait for the new model? Is anything really new/improved rumored to be included?

That is what this thread is all about. Any info we can find will be posted here. It appears there is nothing out there on the 2011 model at this time.
Rumors are to include most features from the forte 5-door.
