06 RIO

I am wondering how a lot of people are doing with their new Rio's.

I was not overly impressed with the previous version. But this new one looks more than promising, raising the bar for a small car for both cost and value.

With Kia now adding to this the brand new Sedona, which looks like a seriously, seriously good van, and the upcoming Optima which already has the look of being one of the best cars in its class, and suddenly you have a brand that everybody needs to watch.

Well I remember when Honda's and Toys were branded as underpowered rust buckets...now look at where they are now.
