2007 Kia Kee concept - Click above for high-res image gallery
Kia has come a long way since arriving on these shores over fifteen years ago. Looking ahead, the Korean automaker still has plenty of tricks up its sleeve, says
Automotive News after an interview with the company's design chief, Peter Schreyer.
Having landed at Kia in 2006 after a 26-year stint at
Volkswagen, Schreyer knows a thing or two about design. He's credited with styling the groundbreaking original
Audi TT, and would like to do something similar for Kia... in time.
For the moment, Kia is focusing on its core products. But "sooner or later," says Schreyer, the Korean automaker will be
ready for a sportier model to serve as a halo and help define the brand. When that time comes, we could see something along the lines of the
Kee concept from 2007 (pictured) take form, and given Schreyer's experience, we don't doubt it'll be a looker. Just when that time will be, however, remains a big question mark.
