Autoshow Season - Kia Soul

It looks like we are officially living in an era of boxy, utilitarian small car 'alternatives'...now it's Kia's turn.

At the NAIAS, Kia will show the Soul concept. It appears to hint at a small competitor to the Honda Element, Scion xB, and upcoming Nissan Cube (and to a lesser extent, Chrysler PT Cruiser and Chevrolet HHR).

This vehicle is likely a preview of new entry from Kia to debut in 2007, at the earliest.
