Kia played both ways at the Mondial de l'Automobile de Paris 2010: the concept cars with the tiny pop, and one of the series with the European premiere of the new Optima. A car, like all latest models released by the Korean automaker, has nothing to do with the cars in the drawing terribly bland often associated with these cars before.

At the Paris Motor Show debut of the Concept Kia Pop. Told reporters the main designer «KIA Europe, Gregory Guillaume, triple electric length of 3 meters is designed to" stir up the automotive world, to surprise people even more. " To this end, the project authors deliberately refused loans moves, already used in car design, and turned to unusual sources of inspiration - such as spaceships, speed bikes, and gliders. As a result of Pop was an unusual elliptical side windows and opening up doors and glass "dome" over the whole length of the roof.

Compact Korean city car has become more dynamic and sporty, that does not interfere notice even camouflage. Although the specifications are still not disclosed, it is known that the project involved experts in Rüsselsheim, Germany, making the new Asian products become more competitive in Europe.

Probably, under the hood Kia Picanto will be a 1.2-liter gasoline engine Kappa, which can also be seen on the Hyundai i10. Moreover, this unit complies with Euro-5. It is planned that the Kia Picanto will arrive in three and five-door versions.

Debut of new products planned for next year at the Geneva Motor Show.

The young American of Korean origin, aged only 21, is currently doing blow women's golf (at least in the U.S. and Asia) and is also early this year became the brand ambassador for Kia on the LPGA Tour and everywhere else.

As for his role, the pretty young golfer appeared for the first time in an ad that highlights the Kia Soul once again transformed into a music box!

It's nice, well done, very American, so predictable, a bit sterile and it is there.

Kia hopes its new small car is the image of the group! Our spy photographers caught this mule on test in the vicinity of the company R & D European headquarters in Rüsselsheim, Germany, in the test phase to be launched next year.

And while the Picanto plays an important panel, the newcomer, the proportions are notably similar to the car it replaces. But the brand new car boxy form a serious injection of style by design boss Peter Schreyer and his team was given.

At the front is swept back headlamps and the familiar chrome grille snout Tigers are visible, while the current car broken shoulder line is replaced with a steep, what the Picanto a sportier profile.

The car shown here has five doors, and will probably be offered in this body style at the start, but Kia is considering whether to even build a cheaper three-door version.

Expect the Picanto a similarly impressive interior feature, with a practical, yet stylish design that is reminiscent of the recently launched Sportage. And just as the SUV, the majors kit on price-performance ratio, the Picanto with such as air conditioning, power windows and an MP3-compatible stereo be packed.

Under the hood, the Kia will get the same all-new 1.0-liter gasoline engine, thes 99g/km of carbon dioxide, which will debut in Paris is the 2011 model year Hyundai i10. The Picanto uses the same platform as its sister Hyundai car.

The Kia VG concept (Kia KND-5, production model named Cadenza) was reported to be successor of Amanti, based on the platform for the next generation of Hyundai Azera.
