Kia Soul, what do you think?

[Bredayaris]

There's a lot to do over here with Kia's because a lot of engines brake down especially the smaller cars.

[SilverBack]

Scion xD knock-off IMO

Like those door speakers though

Pretty nice actually. A local dealership let me keep one for a week. I have pics somewhere that I took. I might get one for the wife. It is between a 1st gen xB, the Nissan Cube and the Soul. I will have a Cube next month for a week the get a feel for it.
Too bad the US didn't get the turbo motor that overseas has. Could have been fun having a factory turbo Soul.

I kinda dig it.
Yeah, it's a Scion-knockoff but of the first gen Scion.
I hate the 2nd-gen xD.

I like it. I'll never buy Korean again though, my 2007 Hyundai Accent hatchback FTL.

[Giobatera]

It's cool, luv the tv comercial though!

[Thirty-Nine]

I love it. I think it's a great looking vehicle, and I'd bet it drives pretty nicely, too. I'd rock one. Great warranty, too.

[SMALLNUMBERS]

those graphics on the car look corny as hell...

but hey- to each his own.

one would think that aerodynamics play into fuel economy. if you build something as aerodynamic as a brick, wouldn't it get worse mileage than something with better aerodynamics? in the day and age when everyone is concerned about fuel economy, it doesn't make much sense to release another drivable brick to the market.

just my $.02

What happened with the Accent?

I'm willing to bet if you took another vehicle with the same weight to power ratio as the xb but with improved aerodynamics it would get better fuel economy.

for the engine size and light weight of the xb, the mileage was pretty mediocre. but, that is what you get w/ crappy aerodynamics.

i doubt seriously the soul will use a more fuel efficient engine than the toyota 1.5, so i expect disappointing mileage.

Nothing happened to it. It cost $2,000 more than my Yaris and is about 100 times less quality and gets horrible gas mileage. I still have it.

[Bombdotcom]

not bad for a KIA!
And the hamsters got my attention, I like the commercial.

[kuyachris84]

here's another commercial(s)...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcuIW_Nkgmw

I might check it out later today... saw 5 on the lot brand new near my house at a dealer... we'll see.

[BLAZINBLUEVITZ]

i just saw new nissan cube commercial last night and THAT THING has my attention also.....

[Blue_dragon_192]

I love my xB (have an 09 Yaris too).
It's too bad they are all coming out with the xB look 5 years too late.

I am sure the quality is no where near the xB/Toyota.

The xB is an awesome vehicle, it's so easy to mod and fun to drive. It has a lot of room too.,....

Stay with the Toyota's we all know and love.
