The Kia Forte Koup was unveiled today at the NY auto show. I must say it looks pretty tempting. In the words of Borat I must say "Very nice, how much?"

It looks great but I personally don't like the dash layout and steering wheel. Can't wait to see the pricing.

That screams "Cobalt" to me. It's not a bad thing. I actually kinda like Cobalts.

so the civic went back to a more traditional layout!? Thank goodness. That current split layout is hideous.

Oh, gotcha. The overall layout is the same as the sedan (tried to upload pic but it photobucket didn't like it).

The exhaust is to DIE for. Finally. Dual tips same side. I LOVE IT! That and the 174hp and 6-spd manual AND 30+mpg.
