2006 Kia Rio
Yeah I know, pics of the new version of the cheapest new car for sale in the USA aren't exactly the most exciting thing ever, but here goes.

for being "the new version of the cheapest new car for sale in the USA" I'd say it's pretty hot. Paint or remove the black plastic, an OE lower, and some 17s and it would be the sweetest car for the money.

Seriously though, wtf is up with all that plastic? It looks like the bumper guards that NYC residents attach to their vehicles. Ugh. But overall it's a sweet looking little car.

Kia could add a Turbonator which will give it +20% horsepower and +50% gas milage (which I see only advertised on banners at the bottom of this site) and say it's TURBOCHARGED

it looks like a modern tercel.. the fit and finish is horrible on those things though.. this girl at work bought an 04 brand new.. and its CHEAP. the hood was about 3/4 higher on the drivers side off the lot....

There's a hatch version of the Spectra called the Spectra5, kinda like how Mazda used to have a Protege5.
There's a sort of mini-wagon version of the current Rio called the Rio Cinco but that was introduced after the Rio itself. Perhaps there will be a new Rio Cinco at some point in the future?
