In addition to <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/12/scoop-kia-new-proceed-gt-hot-hatch.html">our own scoops</a>, Kia has offered us teaser sketches and <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/12/kia-confirms-preliminary-specs-for.html">preliminary specifications on the GT</a> variant of the five-door Cee'd and the three-door Pro_Cee'd. As it turns out, though, Kia has done much more than that as we were tipped off about a video shot earlier this month in which a one Vadim Ovsiankin has not only filmed a prototype of the Pro_Cee'd GT inside and out, but he also took it for a spin on the road, where we see the sport hatch hitting speeds of up to 180km/h (112mph) on public roads. <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-H7lUdteMQOw/UNim2L4UcuI/AAAAAAAK1TA/w_-wZ7-_4_g/s1600/Untitled-1dsgfdg.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear:right; float:right; margin-left:10px; margin-bottom:10px"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-H7lUdteMQOw/UNim2L4UcuI/AAAAAAAK1TA/w_-wZ7-_4_g/s200/Untitled-1dsgfdg.jpg" width="130"></a> Kia's two new GT models are powered by a new version of the brand's 1.6-litre GDI (Gasoline Direct Injection) petrol engine fitted with a twin-scroll turbocharger and strengthened internal components. Maximum output is 204PS (201bhp), up 51 per cent over the non-turbo engine, with torque up 61 per cent to 265 Nm (195 lb/ft). <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/12/new-kia-procee-gt-with-201hp-16-liter.html#more">Read more »</a>

It will go on sale in the first quarter of 2013 offering buyers a choice of two four-cylinder powerplants and will be followed up by a five-door hatchback and a coupe model. Kia's new compact-sized sedan, which our international readers <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/09/new-2014-kia-forte-k3-cerato-detailed.html">may also know as the K3</a> (Korea) and Cerato (Australia, Brazil etc), slots between the Rio sub-compact and the Optima mid-size sedans. The Korean carmaker highlights the new Forte's more modern design which it says is "inspired by European sport sedans" but born in California at Kia’s American Design Center in Irvine. <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-j2eBWj1GTKA/ULbJHE50POI/AAAAAAAKWXU/8Q8r-zH5wwA/s1600/2014-Kia-Forte-Sedan-22.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear:right; float:right; margin-left:10px; margin-bottom:10px"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-j2eBWj1GTKA/ULbJHE50POI/AAAAAAAKWXU/8Q8r-zH5wwA/s200/2014-Kia-Forte-Sedan-22.jpg" width="110"></a> Under the new bodywork, you will find a chassis that is longer (by 1.2 inches), lower (0.6 inches) and wider (0.2 inches) than the previous <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/search/label/Kia%20Forte">Forte sedan</a>. Furthermore, at 106.3-inch long, the new Forte's wheelbase is two inches longer than before for improved interior space. <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/11/la-auto-show-welcomes-all-new-2014-kia.html#more">Read more »</a>

Ask Kia, however, and the Koreans will tell you that there's much more than meets the eye to the revamped Sorento. In fact, Kia claims that more than 80 percent of the parts in the crossover are either "all-new or significantly redesigned", including the 3.3-liter GDI V6 engine producing 290 horsepower. <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/11/2014-sorento-may-look-same-but-kia-says.html#more">Read more »</a>

Thomas Oh, Kia’s Executive Vice President, explains how the company coined the named Quoris: <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pDoGcMuy7kw/UAawpWKA6RI/AAAAAAAIRBY/Aln6tF6EeTk/s1600/Kia-Quoris-2.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5766490597263206674" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pDoGcMuy7kw/UAawpWKA6RI/AAAAAAAIRBY/Aln6tF6EeTk/s200/Kia-Quoris-2.jpg" style="float: right; margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; border: 1px solid rgb(224, 224, 224); width: 104px; height: 72px;"></a>"Derived from the English words ‘core’ and ‘quality’, the name of our new flagship sedan hints at the attributes at the very heart of the vehicle. The word ‘Quoris’ conveys solidity, luxury and high-technology, all resonating together as a chorus." <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/07/kia-k9-flagship-sedan-named-quoris-for.html#more">Read more »</a>

While the engine range differs from country to country (for example, Europe gets a 194hp / 197PS 2.2-liter turbo diesel while North America a 276hp 3.6-liter V6 gasoline, in addition to the 2.4-liter petrol offered in both regions), the styling is more or less the same sans some very minor differences. <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-p2JBlXES4e8/T-ScSpdoKCI/AAAAAAAIAxg/hfdt1mw6e4k/s1600/2014-Kia-Sorento-6.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5756898067868035106" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-p2JBlXES4e8/T-ScSpdoKCI/AAAAAAAIAxg/hfdt1mw6e4k/s200/2014-Kia-Sorento-6.jpg" style="float: right; margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; border: 1px solid rgb(224, 224, 224); width: 103px; height: 103px;"></a>That said, the design changes are common for all markets, which brings us to these latest photos that afford us our first look at the facelifted <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/03/kia-quietly-introduces-2013-sorento.html">Sorento's</a> interior.

Back to the Future: Kia Elan Roadster is a Lotus for the Masses

<a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/05/find-of-day-kia-elan-roadster-is-lotus.html"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5738470477311246754" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ZbXJt-mRBgk/T6MkftI0AaI/AAAAAAAHiTs/BXCk2tBfqiU/s800/Kia-Elan-Roadster-14.JPG" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; Border: 1px solid rgb(51, 51, 51); cursor:hand;width: 645px; height: 349px;"></a> Back in the late 1980s, two automakers with very different values and historical backgrounds each set out to build a roadster model for mainstream enthusiasts. The two brands were <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/search/label/Mazda%20MX-5%20%2F%20Miata">Mazda with its MX-5</a>, also known as Miata in North America and Eunos Roadster in Japan, and Lotus, then owned by General Motors, with the Elan M100. Both two-seater models were presented in 1989, but only one managed to become a phenomenal sales success, and that was the MX-5. Ironically, Mazda's goal was to create a direct descendant of the original <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/search/label/Lotus%20Elan">Lotus Elan</a> from the 1960s, with a nostalgic feel in terms of styling, lightweight philosophy and rear-wheel drive setup, adapted of course, to the times. <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-gD--YKFmtxU/T6Mkqgb4wPI/AAAAAAAHiT4/ZgLPxRCaevE/s1600/Kia-Elan-Roadster-12.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5738470662880149746" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-gD--YKFmtxU/T6Mkqgb4wPI/AAAAAAAHiT4/ZgLPxRCaevE/s200/Kia-Elan-Roadster-12.JPG" style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; border: 1px solid rgb(51, 51, 51); width: 137px; height: 94px;"></a>On the other hand, the British automaker purposely designed a futuristic successor that maintained the handling and nimbleness of the original Elan, but instead of RWD, opted for a FWD layout, the first and last time Lotus tried it on a production model. Even though the modern Elan was praised for its handling and forward looking styling, it ultimately fell victim to its high price having to compete with the cheaper and more reliable MX-5, and the fact that it was not as entertaining on the road as a rear-wheel driven model. <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/05/find-of-day-kia-elan-roadster-is-lotus.html#more">Read more »</a>
