News: Kia Forte 2013

Kia Forte. A car that is alike your moderately good looking friend that just fits in the group but never was an outstanding one. Now though, you get this.
Front bumper shows cues of the current Volvo V40 for me
I always thought of the Forte, a car that was out of its place when it comes to competing against its segment rivals. It was smaller than the Civic but bigger than a Mazda 2. It kinda stuck in the middle. Until 2013 that is since Kia has announced that it will be lower, wider, bigger. Also, the Forte is fast growing old with its looks compared to the rest of the family looking far more futuristic than it so with this update, it looks well prepared to be fit in the family once again. 
Lines becoming less angular and more curvy. A good thing. Note: Is it just me or does this thing look a bit like a Mondeo fused with the CC?
Seemingly a sister to Hyundai, it would be sharing some platform cues with the Elantra and I guess it would have about the same proportions when it is finally unveiled late this year. Can't wait? Here's a picture of a Cee'd to keep you wanting more of the upcoming Forte.
Just up there with the big boys, now.
