Much like parent company <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/hyundai/">Hyundai</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/kia/">Kia</a> has been working hard to revive its brand image. New products like the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/soul">Soul</a> and <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/forte">Forte</a> have been relatively well received so far, and with new stunners like the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/sportage">2011 Sportage</a> and <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/optima">Optima</a> on the way, Kia should benefit from a healthy boost in sales. But strip away the sleek new designs and clever interior packaging, and you'll find that Kia's core value of crafting extremely safe vehicles is still holding strong, especially now that the 2010 Forte sedan has been named a Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.<br />
<br />
The Forte received ratings of "Good" (the highest achievable) in front, side, rear and rollover impact crash tests - something that safety-minded buyers will surely appreciate. What's more, this gives the Forte more ammo to compete head on with the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/civic">Honda Civic</a> and <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/corolla">Toyota Corolla</a>, its two main competitors, which have also been dubbed as Top Safety Picks by IIHS. Curiously, only the sedan was mentioned in the IIHS study, so we can't say if this prestigious honor carries over to the two-door <strike>coupe</strike> <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/forte+koup">Koup</a>. Hit the jump to read the full IIHS press release.<br />
