KIA Soul in Ypsi

Nov 06, 2008 21:21

Killed in Action is about to introduce a mini Scion xB rip-off called the Soul. It's not as cool as the promised US version asymmetrical Nissan Cube (which I saw recently in Ypsi as well, complete with steering wheel on the wrong side). I saw this KIA in person behind Sidetracks (not far from the KIA development center) with camouflage tape ( Read more... )

cars are stupid, ypsi attack!

Dang that cube is crazy! Wonder if you can get a band and a full PA in there?

The Cube will sell like crazy. ...and get tastelessly modded:

It looks like it has a shorter wheelbase than a VW Golf and makes up for the cargo volume with height. I'd be all about one of these things if they didn't ride low enough for neighborhood streets to eat them.

It looks pretty cool although the rear pillar is on the wrong side. Line of sight for the driver needs more visibility on the right side of the car; the left side's already got shoulder belt, door pillars, and so on in the way so the rear pillar wouldn't affect the view.

I think this Cube might be a Japanese Domestic Market version. Pray they move the window opening to the other side for us. Though I already drive a Fiero, which has 0 visibility, so I just make sure I pass everyone and note where they were when I change lanes.

If it said Honda, Toyota or Mazda on the front of it I would like it a lot better. I know they've gotten better, but they just don't seem to last. I bet you'll be able to pick one of these up for nothing used.

what the fudge? starkweather400 November 7 2008, 07:24:58 UTC

gas prices are down, time to get that big blue F350 with taz flaps, kc lights and tractor tires that i've been dreaming about.

can't afford the cb antenna, that's why i listen to broken and hearted.

the only band you can fit in that car is the dj (owner) and his/her party crew consisting of betty, the drug dealer, and some mooch picked up along the way to the party.
not sure if the tables will fit in the back, maybe the headphones.
most djs usually have neither so no worries.
