I get it, is that soccer mom appeal. But Kia is trying to return to it's original feel by doing the Stinger GT and making the turbocharged Kia Soul.

Let's be real though, the soccer mom appeal should hardly be surprising.

For the youngsters here the early Korean cars of the 1980's or thereabouts were low cost junk.
FWIW, it's now 2018.

Thanks. For the record.

I'm thinking of Eugene Levy as the car salesman in National Lampoon's Family Vacation on the Wagon Queen Family Boxster. " You think you hate it now, but wait until you drive it."
Except that if people would drive the Soul, they'd come to like it.
Yup. Utterly reliable.

Normally aspirated are powered by hamsters. Turbocharged are powered by hamsters on meth.

That explains why Kia owners tend to think they are fast...
