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.

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.

New York 2010: Kia adds five-door hatch to Forte lineup — Autoblog

Thanks for finding that. I like the current front end styling better then what it will be changed to.

The front end change is for the 5 door hatch similar to the sedan, I was referring to the Nav, Smartkey, Push start, ie.... I pickup my Koup tonight didn't know '11 we coming in August...

My remark about the front end change on the Forte Koup was aim at the below statement from that article.

The five-door Forte debuts with a slightly revised front fascia (something that will make its way onto all Forte models) to go with its new more useful backside.

Maybe it will be limited to the sedan and 5 door models but all sounds like Koup to me also. If the front end is changed on the 2011 Koup, I will be buying a 2010 model.
