June 2008 issue of Motor Trend have an article about it, as follows:



The article says the Kia is denying the fact, but Motor Trend believes that it may be a possibility. Now, it is uncertain of which fact that the Motor Trend knows to believe that it may be a posibility that Kia may produce it, but for now, that is what the magazine believes. Hopefully it isn't a rumor and the car DOES get a go for production, and if it does, let's hope they UPDATE the styling a bit so it does not look too much of a rip-off of a Honda.
