Funky Concept Utility Vehicles

Kia Soul'ster May See Production After Big Hit at Detroit Aut

Because the Kia Soul’ster was such a huge hit with the Detroit Auto Show fans, it may actually see the light of day. The Soul’ster may show up as a two door pickup spinoff of the utility truck that was revealed at the Detroit Auto Show. Kia execs haven’t given the Soul pickup a clear road ahead, but if its five-door cousin sells well after introduction in March, the small utility truck will get a serious look for the production line.
