My, what big letters your model name uses!

Like Saturn which names its models in caps, Kia is starting to show off a construct automobile that they hope will garner the Korean automaker plenty of attention. The Kia KOUP is a sexy, stylish construct automobile today making the rounds of the auto shows. If it is receives a green light for production, this automobile could go a long way toward reforming Kia's budget image.

Kia KOUP - What's With The Name?

The alteration of coupe in the KOUP's name is likely to stir some controversy. Personally, I don't same it, but I do think that the automobile is attractive. This automobile reminds me of Kia's sister company's coupe, the Hyundai Tiburon, but the Kia model sure has the better hunting lines. Kia would do substantially to become up with added name should the coupe go into production.

The Kia construct is powered by a 2.0-liter Theta II turbocharged engine producing 290 horsepower paired with a GDI (Gasoline Direct Injection) twin scroll turbocharger designed to deliver crack noesis and fuel efficiency. By means of injecting fuel direct into the cylinder under high pressure using the Kia GDI system, the intake charge is cooled and oxidization behavior is improved. Improved oxidization assures excellent fuel frugalness and low emissions. Lower grille openings enable additional air intake for extra power. Kia claims that the KOUP delivers torque of 289 lb-ft at a low 2,000 rate uninterrupted to 4,000 rpm.

These numbers put the KOUP squarely in Mitsubishi Eclipse territory, digit of the car's likely competitors. The Eclipse has performed substantially for Mitsubishi and the KOUP could do the same for Kia. Besides, when you think of Kia the term \"low-budget\" comes to mind. The new coupe crapper help to flush Kia's ikon same no automobile before it.

Where To See It?

Having prefabricated its entry at the 2008 New York International Auto Show, expect that Kia will show the automobile at field venues over the coming months. If public reception for the automobile is good, then expect that creation will begin as soon as possible. This could mean that the oddly named KOUP will impact US streets as early as 2010, a automobile delivering good looks, performance, and fuel frugalness for a value price.
