I would too, if it was RWD and had enough interior room for someone who is 6'6" 230 lbs.

What's so special about that Kia? Looks like just an econobox to me....... kinda like an updated Tercel. Just because it has an aggressive looking front end doesn't make it a performance car.

And I'm not sure why the hood has to be so high when it probably only has a 2 litre engine.

$5 says my S10 can drag it around with the 2.2 in the truck.

Why does everything have to be a "performance" machine?

because the manufacturer claims it is.

When we decided to build our first two-door coupe, we didn’t hold anything back. The result is the 2010 Kia Forte Koup. The Forte Koup brings the shape and design cues of the groundbreaking Koup concept to life in Canada’s newest and most exciting compact sport coupe. With a low wedge-like profile and bold styling, it turns heads faster than any law should allow. It’s also infused with the power to surprise, so you’ll find the Forte Koup is packed with performance, comfort and convenience features that you probably thought you’d have to pay extra for. Surprise!
