    almost identical to the sedan Kia Rio, this should be Stateside-bound next year. Is this bigger than the pint-sized Picanto (cuz we don't have the Picanto here)?

    engine. 1.7L I-4 110hp

    Looks nice, I like the hatchback hehehe, looks bigger that the picanto. They should bring it here to compete against the City/Vios, with is larger displacement engine it should sell if the price is right. IMO Picanto is just too cramped and is only suited for city driving.

    imho ung poor sales ng rio dito in the past years could be attributed to the styling or kia's image problem. this baby solves the first issue imho

    hehehe dapat palitan ang name nyan kapag binenta nila sa pinas....

    example:
    customer: maganda kaya yang kotse na yan (sabay turo)?
    salesman: ahh yan ba sir? ito ang bagong kotse ng Kia, Cerato....


    hehehe parang masagwang pakinggan....

    Parang Ford Nova, hindi mabenta sa Spanish speaking country kasi "won't go" pala ang meaning. Urban leagend lang ata

    Nakakalito na mga pangalan. Cerato, Nova, etc. what will they come up next? "Sarapto"?
