Kia Motors will unveil an exciting new concept car at the Geneva Motor Show at the end of this month. The stunningly attractive, precisely styled show car, named cee’d (pronounced ‘seed’), is based on the forthcoming all-new C-segment model which Kia will begin building at its first-ever European assembly plant in Slovakia from December 2006.
I think it looks pretty good... probably no performance what so ever... but good looking.

It isn't as ugly as most Kias, but I.M.O also not a real beauty

Since this is only a concept, I bet the production model will look as boring as Kias normally do.

Nothing original, it looks almost exactly like the Mazda3 Sport :roll:

Looks alright, not as bad as the rest of their lineup but still ugly.

They need me on the dezine team. Rocket launchers and ghey bombs should make it look good.

That's exactly what I thought when I first saw it! However, this car is uglier than the Mazda 3.

Meh it looks kinda like all of hyundai/kia designs of late. Taking a car from some other manufacturer, cutting it in half, then taking another car and weld the 2 pieces together.

I have to say though, those rims don't seem to fit the car very well.

Mattk 02-20-2006 07:57 PM

Agreed. But I think it's more to do with the stylised picture.

racer_f50 02-20-2006 08:37 PM

interesting styling, but still not pretty. it's nice that they're trying, though 8)

Relatively speaking, its great. Kia moving in the right direction. I liked their concept coupe also, or was that Hyundai :?: :D

Not a bad copy of Ford/VW/Audi/BMW, but Kia/Hyundai needs to understand that in order for them to have great design, they need to come up with their own design language.

It looks rather nice but although its the first time i saw it I am sure we ve met before. Nothing original but there has been a previous KIA model which IMO was a fine looking car, the KIA Sorento which was again a copy of another SUV.(MB M-Class)
