Alright, so if the '07 Elantra wasn't your cup of tea stylistically, how about this:



More Exterior Photos

This could be the XD sedan replacement for some people that don't like the HD. Where the Elantra is now very rounded, smooth and flowing, this is sharper-cut with creases and angles. The flared fenders make the track width look pretty wide relative to the car size, which is promising. The front's OK with that flat-across hood line, the side looks pretty sharp/european and the rear looks elegant, IMO. Nice.

In Korea, a 1.6L and 2.0L engines will be offered. We'll see what we get here in the U.S. Diesel would be nice, no?

You can almost see a hatchback possibility there... stick in the 170hp 2.4L that still gets decent economy... come on Kia, you know you want to.
