I actually like it... Much better looking than the xB... Even though I see a lot of same styling queues and body lines...

Not going to lie, i don't like it, but then again i don't like the xb either. I guess i am more for traditional styling of cars.

Too bad everyone will think that Kia is stealing Scion's designs...

which they are not? Because Kia has been doing these kinds of designs for 10 years, just like Toyota, right?

I never heard about this vehicle until a few days ago. Just read a review about it. Seems to be liked. Not for me, but its a fun and funky looking car.

I'm with you, I think this thing is ugly, stupid looking & awkward.

My wife and I were sitting here watching tv when an ad came on. It was one of those teaser types that didn't show anything and only left an email address at the end. Well of course I had to go have a peek. Not only do I think that the marketing execution is very good, the vehicle looks kinda cool.
