No not as in Killed In Action bit as in the car manufacturer. And my job.
Now a lot of people think that they are just a huge pile of crap. Right?
Well to be honest they aren't. They are NOTHING like the KIA's of old.
If so I HIGHLY doubt that they would have the IIHS Top Picks for most of their cars. Plus if they were crap then how the hell did they manage to win 2 races in the Street Tuner (ST) class at the Grand-Am Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge (CTSCC) and finish in the top 10 in all but 1 race. Oh also this is only their 2nd year racing in this event. Even when one of their very own drivers said this Nic Jönsson said “Second-year motorsports programs are not supposed to win championships, but Kia Motors and Kinetic Motorsports have been committed to being the best since we formed our partnership in late-2009. The Kia Forte Koups have been fantastic since getting off the truck at Daytona in January thanks to the tireless dedication of the team. We couldn’t be happier with the end result, and I have to thank Michael Galati whose skill and experience was invaluable in this championship run.”
So even tho I work for them and even tho I do like the styling and the engines and all that. Still think they are a great company and have some of the best cars out there. The handling is great, they are fast and have some of the best styling out there. Now those are my options but take this with you as of tonight. In Fargo, North Dakota the dealership I work for in 1 day SOLD 5 Optima's, 2 Sedona's, and a Soul today. Now if they were crap I don't see that happening and that was just today.
It was just something I wanted to mention. So next time think about what you say. A company such as KIA my just blow you away next time. Take a test drive Im sure they'll surprise you like they did with me.

I miss my sport though :( really sad to see kia not continue that model
by the ride and build quality.
And it had a kick butt heater!
*likes warm toes*
Plus if they would happen to break they are considerably cheaper than a Ford, GM, Chrysler one
Another thing that is nice is that the Soul is a cheap car but its not built cheaply. They are very thought for what they are and comfy.
