For the most part, Kia has had to content itself with working class iron while it has watched its corporate sibling, Hyundai, spread its wings upmarket. With massive sales momentum and big upticks in everything from styling cohesion to consumer consideration, now might just be the right time for the Korean automaker to start its own push into the land of loftier price tags.
The Kia GT Concept just revealed at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show presages a new rear-wheel drive production platform, though we're guessing the final product won't look much like this coupe-like four-door. Motivated by a 3.3-liter turbocharged V6
giving 389 horsepower 
and 394 pound-feet of torque, power for GT is routed through an eight-speed automatic gearbox.
While the Kia GT has its share of interesting details (contrasting rocker panel swoosh, fender-mounted rearview camera stanchions, Aston Martin-like front canards etc.), we're still on the fence about what we think of the visuals.
The interior is somewhat less controversial, with beautiful organic forms, one-piece seats that are covered in different materials front and back, and a unique glass instrument panel. Check it all out in our high-res gallery and let us know what you think in Comments.

Next question ? Are there Gay Aliens ? LOL I don't know, but there sure are some Weird Ones 4-Sure : ) LOL
I don't want 2 get my car dirty..so, I drive naked..It's a alien thing
LOL..(Sorry), at this hour of the morning I have no control over my keyboard & stuff just falls outa my mind.That's why my mind is empty most of the time
=====================================
Kia, does produce their concepts & I've enjoyed reading member's opinions of this one...I hope they build it, and I hope that GM is noticing the impact from their Korean counterparts...We's given Korean enough help & $'s...
I wonder if the black grill retracts @ speeds to let air in ?
I like this type of steering wheel with the flat bottom
Have a Seat...take it for a spin in your Mind : )Thanks everyone for your posts/thoughts...
