Totally want the German styling and all of the "extra" equipment that you get for cost of entry. But totally don't want Hyundai/Kia reliability.

I kind of want to try this car out and I rarely say that for most current hatchbacks.

The styling is very nice-- it kind of reminds me of the new ford focus. I'm not expecting a great suspension, but good lord it looks nice.

They need to give a GenCoupe to Kia. I reaaaaally like the Optima's looks when it comes to Accord/Camry/Sonata/6 class vehicles.
I think a Kia-styled Genesis (sedan too, come to think of it) would really make people sit up and pay attention. Plus a handling rework, naturally...
