But cheap and ok rather than cheap and nasty. The Koreans have given us a lot to talk about in the last 12 months. Everthing from the first Korean performance cars, to the first V8. And looking at the us Chev site (http://www.chevrolet.com) it appears the 2007 Aveo is a 5 star car. So i'm guessing the next installment of the Barina will be much improved in the safety stakes. But personally i'd still rather pay more for my Jap/Euro cars :) We’ll I wouldn’t go as far as to say Good. But cheap and ok rather than cheap and nasty.

I hope they bring it out here. It might shake up the competition. It's a truth everyone I think needs to look at and accept. The Korean's are making good cars these days.

Any news on the engine spec? or is that an optional extra? KIA Performance car, accelerates from 0-150 in less than 10 seconds…. if you drive it off a cliff :)
