New York 2010: Forte Five-Door Unveiled in New York : Auto News

What do you guys think of the new Kia Forte Five-Door?

I'm wondering why they wouldn't open the doors.... i bet the interior wasn't finalized yet.

I noticed the grill is slightly different. The honeycomb pattern is different and the chrome trim above and below the KIA emblem is larger. Does it look that way to everyone else or is it just me?

It looks a lot better than I expected it to look! If I was a Soccar-Mom, I'd drive one.

Nice car. Dont like the name. They could have called it something else. For a compact hatchback its very nicely done.

The grille is 'Koup Mesh' and not sedan... but the headlights are sedan style. Interesting they would mix the two as I would expect sedan stuffs across the board.

As for the style? I will wait to see it 'in the metal' for final judging, but preliminary thoughts centre on the word "fugly".

Of course, they may not even bring it to Canada... please God... let the Yanks keep the fugly car...
