This is the new Kia Rio5 track car. I've been looking at these as a viable new DD, but since they are so new, they're just outside my price range. But man, something about them really has me drooling-- too much time reading Grassroots Motorsports, perhaps?

Have you driven one? I test drove one and compared to the Accent it was horrible. The difference in refinement, fit & finish, and noise levels was astonishing for two cars so closely related. Given that any part that fits the Rio would fit the Accent...

What does GRM have to say about it's performance potential?

^ Are some of your exhibits from Europe? The car clearly has a plate that isn't found in North America. Even if your examples don't come from Europe or Asia, I still find it weird as it really looks like a variant of exhibit A
