New Concept Car: Kia Soulster



Leaking on to the Web today is an image of Kia's newest concept due out at next week's 2009 Detroit auto show. The two-door Soul-based show car has been unofficially dubbed the 'Soulster' and by the looks of it, takes the four-door people mover's hip theme to a new level.
Starting with the exterior, a variety of LEDs have been added to the rearview mirrors as well as headlights -- a trait most likely found on its taillights as well. A complete overhaul of the Soul's roof and rear section has been made to accommodate the open configuration with roll bar. Bigger Brembo binders can be seen peeking out behind a revised wheel and tire combo. As for the interior and engine bay fun, nothing has been released.
