New look for the Kia Soul (selling, clearance, Lexus, reliability)

[BrianGC]

I like it - maintains the funky charm of the original. But there are two problems:

1. That grille is a little too big
2. The floating roof looks really forced into the design. Please stop doing this.

Something tells me you were never in Kia's target demographics anyway.

Still no AWD. I don't understand why Kia hasn't made that an option yet.

Nothing as ugly as the Nissan Juke

Giant Grille and Floating Roof are the latest styling fad.
Before these it was Fake Fender Vent and Bangle Butt.
The last two look ridiculous today.

Because it's not an SUV.

Plenty of "automotive experts" have been wrong over the years.

The Murano convertible sure gave it a run for its money.

Not everyone who wants AWD, wants an SUV.

Like many Soul owners.
