A whole herd of intriguing small cars is on the horizon.
2010 Kia Forte & Koup
On sale: Now
The words "Kia" and "fashionable" don't often go together, but what other way is there to describe the company's sharp-looking new sedan and coupe? The Forte went on sale late last year, with the two-door Koup (pronounced like "coupe," not like a government overthrow) hitting dealerships shortly thereafter. OK, we admit that the styling owes a nod of gratitude to the current-generation Honda Civic, but if you're going to crib off someone's homework, why not pick the class valedictorian? Besides, the Forte is more than just a Kia-ized Civic. It offers more room and power than the Honda and is generally bigger in every dimension. Throw in generous standard equipment and a lower price than its competitors and the Forte sedan and sexy Koup are hot contenders for 2010.
