    Rumorpile: Kia GT and Provo Concepts To Become Production Models?

    Kia could be producing production versions of the the GT Concept (shown at 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show) and the Provo Concept (2013 Geneva Motor Show).

    Auto Express talked Kia Motors Europe’s VP of Marketing and Product Planning, Benny Oeyen. Oeyen said the they're looking at producing a coupe version of the GT Concept.

    “The GT is close to being approved and going into production, but, as with all our cars, they have to be developed on a sound financial footing,” said Oeyen.

    As for the Provo, Oeyen said the company is very keen on producing a production model. The model would be based on the same platform as the Rio and become Kia's halo model for small cars.

    “The provo is a possible niche we can venture into. Our brand is currently rational, but there’s space for a B-Coupe. We will now do some market research to see if people would buy it – it has to make financial sense,” said Oeyen.

    Is it me or does this have some of the front end on the Oldmobile Drawings? Seems that funky front I have seen someplace else also.

    Main body reminds me of a Datsun 280Z with a funky front end. Not bad, but not great either.

    The more I look at this car, the more I wonder just how or why they would put a nose on it like this. It would seem to me to cause unneeded air drag as the edges would cause wind to build up and resist against the car rather than smoothly flow around it.

    • WOW, This just blows my mind on this stupid woman that Dumb Dirty Donald put in charge of education. Full list of degrees not classed as ‘professional’ by Trump admin These degrees are no longer considered professional or valid. List of Degrees Not Classed as ‘Professional’ by Trump Admin Nursing Physician assistants Physical therapists Audiologists Architects Accountants Educators Social workers   How does one think that any of these that take considerable training are not professional degrees!
    • So much going on, Idiot47 calling for the execution of people that disagree with how he is doing things, this is all so pathetic. As we enter our Thanksgiving week, I am very humble for the friends that I have here at C&G and yes that even includes the ones I disagree with on various topics and debate with be you in the U.S. or out of the U.S.  I wish you all a relaxing, enjoyable time with family and friends for your Thanksgiving Day. I have one wish and that is for the following as we go into the end of the year and Xmas season.   I hope that we can get past sooner rather than later Dumb Dirty Donald and Flamboyant Hollywood Gavin and get a "We the People" President that understands that regardless of your conservative or liberal leanings, we are one country of multi-cultural people and like everyone other than the 1% crowd, we have to live within a balanced budget. Bring the house and senate together to work as they are supposed to represent the people and not the 1%. Balance tariffs for those things that truly are being made under the cost of the current industry still producing manufactured goods in the U.S. and drop all the rest for things that are no longer made or available here. Support the medical insurance for all, stop borrowing against Social Security. Focus on supporting job growth in new industries and not destroying billion-dollar investments trying to live in the past. May you all have a wonderful holiday week or relaxing week if out of the U.S.
