Re: 2010 Kia Spectra

It looks nice. See some Acura influence in the headlight shape.

Re: 2010 Kia Spectra

That looks like a scaled down, muscled up Sonata, which isn't a bad thing.

Re: 2010 Kia Spectra

I think it's safe to say that's going to look like ass. Looks like they took a last-gen Corolla and smooshed in the front and back.

Re: 2010 Kia Spectra

I like how they lowered the belt line by carving out the niche where the rearview mirror fits, much in the manner of how that last radical Mercedes concept achieved a slimmer profile.

Re: 2010 Kia Spectra

I think it looks good and fear for the Cobalt replacement based on the spypics we've seen. This would look very good as a two door like the concept (Can't remember the name) based on Hyundai's Genisis from not too long ago.

Re: 2010 Kia Spectra

Nice. Now you can have (what appears to be) an Acura for just $1.

Re: 2010 Kia Spectra

It has an agressive, muscular look and stance. I like the teaser.

It will look great next to that Hyundai Genesis, in the Hyundai/Kia showrooms.

Re: 2010 Kia Spectra

That side view is fluid and attractive. I cannot see through the disguise to imagine the front and back.

Too anonymous and smooth for my tastes.
