All-New 2010 Kia Forte Meets High Standards of Performance, Design at a Low Price BY KEITH GRIFFIN

“It’s the economy,stupid” was the unspoken theme of the 1992 pres- idential campaign. Then Gov. Bill Clinton got it and won. The first president Bush was retired to Texas because he didn’t get it. Well, in the automotive world, “it’s the design, stupid.” The cars and SUVs that are thriving in the U.S., for the most part, have great designs. GM for the past five years have mostly been designed by committee. Hello, bankruptcy. Chrysler has had one winning design in that same time frame, the Chrysler 300 (not counting a couple of retro designs). On the other hand, we have dis- tinctive designs and good sales from companies like Audi, Mazda, Ford, Hyundai and now, believe it or not, Kia. The Korean carmaker has heard the word and ditched its bland drawings. I pres- ent as proof the 2010 Kia Forte sedan. The Kia Forte has the styling to attract new customers.

Available in three trims, LX, EX Auto Review and SX, pricing for the all-new compact sedan will start at $13,695 for the LX trim, while the Forte EX begins at $15,795. Moving up to the SX trim, pricing begins at $17,195. While these are affordable prices, the highest praise I can give the Forte is it doesn’t feel cheap at all.
