Kia’s Big Step Forward
December 30th, 2009 | 
Author: Correy Putton asked:
Korean car companies have been making waves in the automotive industry, both in the aspects of design and performance. They are carving a niche for themselves in the US and global market. Kia, for example, has been increasing its foothold in the US market, figures last year shows a growth of 6.4%. In December alone, the company sold 30,000 plus units which was the best sales month in the entire existence of the oldest car manufacturer in Korea.
And with the unveiling of their new concept car, the Kia Kue, the company strengthened its name as one serious contender in the crossover SUV market. Riding on radical designs, the genius engineering of Kia parts and other components, and the design of the concept car itself, the company is showing what they can do in terms of designing new and exciting cars.
While some crossover SUVs focus on hauling capability, the Kia Kue puts much attention to the performance of the car. Although it is just a concept car, this shows the direction Kia will be taking in the near future. Providing crossover SUVs with performance enhancing features with the same hauling capacity of an SUV will no doubt impact the financial status of the company and increase its popularity in the market.
The direction in design by which Kia is taking is more probably because of their acquisition of the service of the much-praised Audi designer Peter Schreyer. This concept car is the first output of Schreyer’s California design studio. If this is the sign of things coming from Kia, any other design coming out of that studio will surely be welcomed.
Also announced is the production of the Kia Soul which was also shown during the previous Detroit Motor Show as a concept car. Does this means that we can look forward to a full scale production of the Kia Kue? We can only guess, but if ever this concept car be manufactured for the market, its high quality design and performance level will surely have a lot of buyers.
The Kia Soul, which will be available late 2008 or early 2009 as a 2009 model, was designed in California and would be built entirely on the company’s Korean assembly plant. It is a 5-seater small car aimed at young single males as its buyers. The Kia Soul carries a 2.0 liter 4-cylinder engine with a five speed automatic transmission. Its name refers to the capital of South Korea, Seoul and to soul music.

Car Rental Faqs – Part 2
Q. What does “car type” or similar mean?
A. Car rental companies can never guarantee a specific model or car. When renting a car, companies will give you an idea of what you can expect – you may get the car type that was advertised or you may get one similar in size or model.
Q. How old are rental cars?
A. Depends on the car rental company. Larger suppliers like Hertz and Avis carry cars on their fleet that are about 3-4 months old. Smaller companies can carry cars up to 4 years old.
Q. Can baby seats be requested?
A. Yes, the majority of car rental companies do carry baby or booster seats and can be requested before collection.
Q. What happens if my rental car breaks down?
A. Most car rental companies should include 24 hour roadside assistance in the rental rate. If you do break down, help is only a phone call away.
Q. Can I pick up a rental car in one city and drop it off in another?
A. This is known as a one way rental. It depends on the supplier and the country – sometimes a fee will apply. Ask when booking!
Q. Can cars be driven into countries other than the country the vehicle is collected in?
A. In most cases, yes but conditions and restrictions do apply. In Europe, there are restrictions about travelling into Eastern Europe and some vehicles cannot be driven in Italy. In the USA, cars cannot be driven into Mexico. Always check at the time of booking.
Q. Are there age restrictions on drivers?
A. Yes. Maximum and minimum ages vary depending on suppliers and car type. Additional fees may also apply for younger or older drivers.
Q. Can anyone drive the rental car?
A. Additional drivers must be added to the rental contract before collection. There may be a fee for additional drivers.
Q. Can my prepaid rental be extended after the vehicle is collected?
A. Yes. In most cases, the renter pays the supplier directly for any extensions. However, this is at the local rate which is often higher than the pre-paid rate.
Q. What do I do if I return the vehicle early?
A. This is possible, however no refund of unused rental days is allowed by the car rental companies.
