Kia aims to be the youthful yin to Hyundai's more staid yang, with the introduction of the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/20/new-york-2008-kia-koup-concept/">Koup concept</a> in NY and the imminent arrival of the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/04/geneva-2008-kia-bears-its-souls/">SOUL CUV</a> (never mind that <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/19/new-york-2008-hyundai-genesis-coupe-burning-rubber-w-video/">Hyundai was doing burnouts</a> on the third floor of the Jacob Javits center while Kia took the wraps off its <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/20/new-york-2008-kia-debuts-2009-optima/">redesigned Optima</a>).<br /><br />Regardless, at this year's British International Motor Show (formerly known as the London Motor Show) Kia will be showing off five of the concepts that have graced the automaker's show stands over the last year, along with an announcement about a future Kia product. The automaker isn't releasing any details on what said vehicle will be, only saying that "this new and exciting car will give the clearest indication yet of the design future of the brand." The show gets under way July 23rd and Kia has announced that the mystery model will go on sale in the UK in 2009. What we're assuming is a Euro-only Kia will join 13 new or revised products in 2009 and 2010, all of which center around Kia's new slogan, "The Power to Surprise!" The exclamation point is theirs, not ours.<br /><br />Hit the jump for Kia's press release.<br /><br />[Source: Kia via <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2008/05/kia-to-make-special-announcement-at.html">CarScoop</a>]<p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/20/kia-debuting-all-new-product-at-british-motor-show/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Kia debuting all-new product at British Motor Show</em></a></p><p style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/20/kia-debuting-all-new-product-at-british-motor-show/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/forward/1199566/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a> | <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/20/kia-debuting-all-new-product-at-british-motor-show/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a></p><hr />
