Coupe version coming as well. Will give the civic coupe/si a bit of competition.

I'll take the 2.4 or the 2.0T (possible) with a six speed.

The only thing "hardcore" about a Civic is fuel economy!

This car is perfect for the late teen, early 20 something who wants to be 2 fast and 2 furious on a budget. You'll look the part, you just won't be fast but you will sound like you are!"

I think the styling of the Kia borrows a lot from the impreza sedan except for the back, which looks like it was involved in a rear ender.
