Exclamation NEW Kompetiton!! Kia Kee Koup



Although the Kee concept was front-wheel-drive, Schreyer says he would back making a production version rear-wheel-drive.

“We would have to aim to rival the Mazda MX-5 and Toyota’s new rear-driven coupe,” Schreyer continued. “The car would not need to be very fast or powerful, but it should be compact, affordable, and fun -- a true sports car.

Peter Schreyer is Kia’s design director

I'll bet Kia can deliver it for under $20K too!

Looks OK but the front end Needs to change... And it's still a Kia so it would have to perform extremely well for a reasonable price to be considered for purchase.

Kia has yet to put out a true driver's car or proper sports car. They are putting out decent cars for their price but probably have a ways to go before putting out anything truly worthy of a 'sports car' label.
