Well, talk about a small world. I'm on CL today at one of the public-computers at the library today (saving wear-and-tear on my laptop), and (wouldn't you know it)....the guy who sold us my brother's new Soul last month came up and sat down next to me, on the next terminal...(he recognized me). So, we chatted a little about cars (mostly Kias). I showed him some of my CL reviews. He was pleased to hear my brother was well-pleased with the car.

^^ I saw a new black Soul at my tennis club last week, I thought of your brother's new Kia, it looked good.

They definitely know their place.

Kia's apparantly putting a lot of stock in those hamster commercials (to me, it's just another marketing gimmick, but it seems to be selling cars). In the showroom, on display, where we got my brother's car, they had a bright-red Soul with a black tape-graphic package on it and 4 BIG teddy-bear-type stuffed hamsters in it....one in each seat.
