KIA New German Designs Friday, May 22, 2009
Seoul - When Shin So Hyun shopped for a compact car in April in Seoul, it didn't take her long to go for an $11,200 Forte from Kia Motors. "Of the cars in my budget, the Forte has the best design," says Shin, an insurance company planning manager in her late 20s. Few drivers would ever say that in the U.S., where Kia is generally seen as the opposite of style.

The record-setting car was a Mars Red pro_cee’d 2.0 CRDi SPORT, destined for a customer of Viking Kia in Southampton. The milestone import figure is testimony to the growth of Kia’s brand strength and market share in the UK and has been particularly boosted by the short-sea delivery of all the cee’d family and the latest version of Sportage that are built at Kia’s Zilina production facility in Slovakia. Operated by GBA, the Killingholme facility can easily accommodate the latest generation of deep-sea car carriers operated by Kia’s shipping partner Eukor capable of carrying more than 8,000 vehicles. more on this story: link posted by plazadecuba on 8:30 PM -------------------------------- 2009 Kia Borrego earns five-star crash rating Tuesday, September 9, 2008 Seoul, South Korea - The all-new 2009 Kia Borrego has achieved the highest five-star crash rating for all seating positions in frontal and side impact crash tests conducted by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
