Kia Hopes to Sell Half a Million Cars in 2012

It’s always fun explaining to people that Kia vehicles aren’t what they thought they were. You have to remember that when Kia first started doing their thing several years ago, they were devised as a budget car, and as a budget car they got quite a bit of healthy criticism claiming that they weren’t particularly [...]

2012 Kia Rio Hatchback Finally Hits Dealers

There’s nothing quite as exciting as when a release date finally rolls around. It’s not odd to hear about teenagers staking out in front of Best Buys late at night to make sure they get their hands on a new video game or album at midnight of the day it comes out, and adults can [...]

Kia Optima Helping to Revive the Brand’s Credibility

When Kia started out as a budget automaker, their goal was just to put out reasonable vehicles that more people could actually afford to buy brand new. At the time, it was a genius way to break into an industry where newcomers have a very hard time of things.
