Kia's TT Competitor



Kia nicked Peter Schreyer from Audi and now they'll be showing this 2+2 sport coupe concept at Frankfurt. Above is a Road & Track rendering and below is the official release from Kia.

So many coupes, so many competitors: that many customers? I've always thought that coupes were a rather limited market, but they are coming at us from every direction now. Personally I'm at a loss to explain this! Where could all the buyers be coming from?

Don't get me wrong, I love the style of coupes. Personally I love the CLK350 with it's pillarless design. The new 135i looks to a awesome as well! Heck, I'd buy those two and a ton of other coupes if I had the chance. But sadly there a zero coupes in my garage. Just not practical enough for either toting my co-workers to lunch or hauling the family.
