You need to go search pro cee'd and pro cee'd gt. It's the euro half brother of the Forte. Go look at it, you will be saying hell yes to yourself


It is rather HillbillieHappyHappy with it's no toof smile. The Speed handles well and goes fast, other then that the Forte5 is a nicer car for a chit load less. The Forte5 SX turbo pumps it up a bit bringing the hp from 173 to 201. Has a tighter suspension, and larger brakes, and lowpro 18's. It's KIA testing the HOT HATCH market. If it does well I can see KIA bringing a toy that'll play with anyone in the segment. KIA is kicking *** kinda the way Saturn did when they started out. Best part ..... KIA will NOT have GM holding them DOWN.

I'm well aware of the Euro market only (pro cee'd) and it's faster sibling... I didn't mention them because we can't get them yet... For some reason, I'm a little hung up on KIA... I've ridden in a couple that just left a horrible taste in my mouth... Thus the Speed3... Or maybe a Fiesta ST...

The pro cee'd gt is no faster than the Forte5 SX, it just looks a bunch better. Forte5 SX and the Veloster use the same running gear tuned to same hp and torque as the pro cee'd gt.
