Well, Kia is about to hint at a yet another Soul variant at the upcoming 2015 Chicago Auto Show with a new concept dubbed the Trail’ster.

    In the market for a full-size, V-8-powered luxury sedan? Feel like spending less than $60,000?

    Kia’s K900 flagship sedan is still fresh on the market, having gone on sale here only in March. However, the car hasn’t managed to gain traction yet, which shouldn't be too much of a surprise as it can't be easy convincing shoppers to drop $60k on a vehicle from a brand mostly known for...

  • Kia GT4 Stinger Concept at 2014 Detroit Auto Show

It was designed, the company says, by the "gearheads and enthusiasts" at Kia's U.S. design center in Irvine, California, to maximize driving enjoyment in a car that...

    Kia Cooks Up Some Soul At SEMA

    The SEMA show floor experienced some extra sights and sound. No, it wasn't from the notes of an aggressive exhaust pipe or from the glow caused by oversized wheels.

    Although Kia apparently missed the memo from 1996 that under-car neon lights are no longer cool, the overall effect of this Superman-inspired Kia Optima Hybrid is right on target--if that target is looking like it came straight from a comic book. Of course, a comic book is where Superman...
