User AiboPet over at the <a href="http://www.soulhamsters.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=2287" >SoulHamsters</a> forum happened upon one very interesting <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/soul">Kia Soul</a> Sport while cruising the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/kia">Kia North America</a> fleet lot recently. The boxy hatch was caught wearing some unique vinyl graphics, complete with tiger stripes down both sides and large paw print on its hind-end. While the forum immediately caught fire with the notion that Kia is planning yet another special-edition version of its youth-oriented crossover, the truth may be a little tamer. <br />
<br />
Kia tells Autoblog that it has no plans to roll out a new Tiger Edition Soul, nor will any other big-cat themed models be available from dealers anytime soon. Sorry, feline fans. <br />
<br />
Of course, that doesn't exactly answer what's up with this particular graphics package. Kia says that when the company's designers are done with special show-circuit jobs, it just parks them outside with the rest of its testers. This could be a stillborn special edition or a SEMA package that never made it to the show floor. Your guess is as good as ours. <em>Thanks to everyone for the tips!</em><br />
