Default Kia Forte Coupe

More images of the 2010 Kia Forte Coupe (XK) hit the web | Kia Forums and Kia Blog


Hmm... this is definitely a formidable competitor to the upcoming Tiburon replacement. A 1.6L DI engine with 175hp powering the front wheels? In a great looking body? I hope Hyundai has something great under its sleeves because they are gonna need it once this comes out on the market.

This is definitely competing with the Civic SI, Golf GTI, Focus RS (if it ever comes over ).

I think its overkill to offer 3 different engine choices with small differences in HP on an economy car. Two engines should be the max. A 2.0 and a 1.6 Turbo should be adequate.

As long as it drives well, I would buy that way before I would buy a Civic. Granted that isn't saying a whole lot, sorry to the Civic Nation.

Cause silver blends in and is common.
Easier to hide in plain sight if your plain.
