OFFICIAL: Kia Soul - Page 2

It's about the same size as Toyota Urban Cruiser, but the Soul will not be avaliable with AWD, but FWD only!
It is expected to have pretty low fuel consumption. The 1.6 diesel engine will be consuming only about 4.5 L/100km

So, this came out after the big blood-letting out there or was this a product from the old team?
If its the latter, then Kia leadership made a mistake when they fired those folks.
This looks OK. If its priced right, then, yip! yip! yahoo!

The Soul is leaps and bounds better than the Ist aka Scion xD aka Urban Cruiser. I am actually quite disappointed it isn't a GM vehicle, and expect it to sell very well.

We have one of these in our shop right now. It has pre-production interior without the texture. Its a 4 cyl. with Macpherson front suspension and twist beam rear axle. I haven't driven it yet, but as soon as we put it back together, I will.

I like it! Love the wrap-around windshield and side glass. It could be a Saab!
