The Kia Forte Koup - A Post We Stole from Rvinyl
The Kia Forte was released as the highly-anticipated replacement for the Spectra, hitting dealerships across the US during the summer of 2009. 2011 saw the introduction of a hatchback version of the Forte but today’s post will be primarily about the two-door version (because that’s what we have the pictures of) and which Kia has affectionately termed the Koup. The Koup is available in the Forte Sedan’s two upper trims, the EX and the SX and is rich in exterior and interior design elements. In fact, the Koup has been called “the most stylish of all the Fortes, with its chopped greenhouse, wide stance, and LED taillights.” The Forte Koup features aggressive bodylines, muscular bulges, and a rear diffuser that give the Kia an aesthetic hard to find in a ride under $20K. Add to that a 2.4-liter inline-4, which delivers 173 horsepower and 168 pound-feet of torque, and a 6-speed manual transmission and you’ve got quite the package.
Now, that we’ve taken a quick look at the specs and history of the 2011 Koup let’s get t the pictures. These were actually submitted some time ago so I don’t know the name of the submitter but my thanks go out to all of our submitter for the great pics. Also, scroll down for the video slide-show if you prefer to see the same images to an electronic beat. Thanks and enjoy!

South Korean Hot Sauce - The 2012 Kia Optima SX
If you are not a soccer fan (and, I must confess, I’m not one) you may not have seen the Kia commericial during the SuperBowl but it made a big splash when it came out. The 2012 Kia Optima SX make its first live appearance at the 2012 Auto Show in Chicago and won Best Sedan of 2012 from Autobytel.
The Optima features design, updated efficiency and excellent stability along with a sticker price that is amazing. Moreover, it gets a great fuel-efficiency on highways and city streets. What is most amazing about the 2012 SX is basically that Kia has, for the last several years, fielded the automobile version of tapioca but seem to have decided to start bottling pure hot sauce with their latest addition.

The Grand Am - High-school Tuning
The Grand Am was Pontiac’s reaction to the smashing import industry and provided a cost-effective US substitute to the bevvy of Camrys and Accords that were blocking the country's roadways. Providing highly effective design and a huge position, the amazing 2001 Grand Am maintains a highly effective appearance similar to its big brother, the Grand Prix. Its strange use of huge, round cornering lighting makethem look much like the top side fog or generating lighting which can mix up at first look. Overall, the design is eye-catching to the eye because the car percentages are healthy well. The Huge Am can be had as a automobile or vehicle, in two unique styles (SE and GT) plus four option provides (SE, SE1, GT and GT1). For the 2001 design season, GM presented the car-alarm causing audio Monsoon stereo audio (available in top quality models) which was the biggest modify for the design season.
All of these features, however, must be tempered with the understanding that GM did not put much cash into the materials used on the inner elements. As such, the Grand Am is the ideal starting car for the starting customizer and detailer because its insides provide so much area for enhancement. As such, one can discover many a high-school vehicle lot with modified Grand Ams even though the production was stopped in 2008.

The Toyota Celica GTS
The Toyota Celica GTS was the finale of almost 30 years of activities vehicle style and cooperation between Toyota and Yamaha (the Celica line was conceived in 1971). Although Celicas have always flirted with the idea of being real race cars they have usually remained true to their origins and selected style and relaxation over efficiency--the GTS, however, marked a considerable divergence from that idea. The GTS has a 1.8-liter, 140 HP motor collaboratively developed by Yamaha and TRD which allows the GTS to execute extremely well and generate it the right to be considered as a real sports coupe.
The Celica’s cabin has been described as the marriage of a spacecraft cockpit and a game console. The use of several designs and black grey shades give the impact that the cottage is pain in and small but nothing could be further from the truth–four grownups can fit perfectly in the top side and rear spaces.

The 2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac - The El Camino of the 21st Century
The Explorer SportTrac has been much maligned in past periods but professionals and fans as well were fulfilled with the 2007 update (and if they only noticed how fantastic the graphite kit looks they might have liked it even more). The SportTrac, for those of you who may not know, is a hydbrid although not in the way many of us have become familiar to in the last several years. Rather, it’s a melange of an SUV and a pick-up–sort of like an El Camino but much more innovative.
The 2007 Exlporer Sport Trac is a very successful and versatile vehicle being well-thought out and developed. Its sleek external design is equalled by its recommended V8 website and the powerful, automatic experience of the within design. Perfect for a sprint kit, the indication selector is monstrously over-sized and fitted by a amazing firefox group which suits the similar decrease on the ports. The blockish design though imaginatively eye-catching remaining some evaluators considering the actual ergonomic office value of the design. Luckily for me I get to have the satisfaction of gawking at the pictures without having to fear about the relaxation within its huge cottage.
