Sources in Korea say this is an artist rendering of what the next gen Kia Forte might look like. It will be based on the current Hyundai Elantra. I like it!

Not bad, but I like the angles and butch stance the current Koup have. It's still pretty sweet looking.

Looks more like the Optima to me.

I definitely agree with that..first thought I had when I saw the front of it. The side does look like the elantra.

its like an elantra and and an optima had a baby. not as nice as the current koup imo. It does resemble an elantra to much

This is correct. Kia Kadenza = K7, the Kia Forte was originally going to be named K3, at least it was code named so.

I like it too, looks sick! Wonder what the koup will look like though with the fogs
thought it was rumoured to have dual exhaust though?
like the rims

Lookalike a civic front half side profile, and an Elantra/optima cross for the rest...I don't like it, they need to keep the aggressive lines they have now and build upon the platform they have already

I kinda like it but I own a forte and a elantra so I guess I got the best of both worlds. But we should have known they were going to make them look alike since they are pretty much the same car, meaning most elantra parts will fit my forte lol. I like the front grille though. I love the optima look. And if they made that in a 2.4 turbo 6 speed m/t I would sell my current forte and elantra in a min and buy it.
