Kia Rio = The next STi?



http://carsguide.news.com.au/news/st...E21825,00.html

Thought you guys might find this interesting...

Kinda reminds me when Kia released a "GSX" and the DSM guys hated it

Kia says it did not intend to model its Sport-Pac on the Subaru WRX.

Kia spokesman Edward Rowe says: "It's just a coincidence."

I think the sad thing, is if they were sold here, I would get SO MANY revving their engine at my MR. And they'd rev their engines at GTOs, Vettes, and junk.

I could use the laugh though.
