Does anyone know if Kia will be doing a hatch or 5 door based off of the new Forte. As much as I like the looks of the Koup, a hatch would be much more usable for us. My wife actually. Available all wheel drive would be even better.
I'm looking to replace her 99 Civic hatch which is such a useful vehicle that I hate to lose that versatility. Since this would be the car that she would drive all the time, awd would be handy to get her up into her garage. During winter she confiscates my Subie Outback to get up the drive. Me, I just park in the shop and walk to the house, through the snow. Uphill both ways.
I don't have to do this right away as her car runs great and when we do replace it we would be giving it to our son and daughter in-law.
Cars that I have been looking at are the Suzuki SX4 crossover and if we do not do this right away, the upcoming Fiesta. I considered the Soul, but she did not like it.
 
If you read some of the automotive press on the Forte they have said that a 5-door is in the works for Mid Year 2010. Time will tell...
 
The way I see it, they will offer LED tail lights and marker lights for the 2011 or 2012 Koup. That will make us trade in our KIAs for chump change to get the OMFGWTFLOLBBQ awesome option and styling.

Ford did this with the Fusion and jacked up the price 5k and STILL got Car of the Year.
