will Kia bring this here as well?

************************************************** *******
This might look like a normal Korean car and it might be just another Golf competitor. But there’s still something special to this Kia ED: The five-door hatch is the first Kia that was penned in Europe and will be built there, too. Code-named “ED” (for European Design), this Cerato successor was designed in the Rüsselsheim development-centre in Germany and will be built in Zilina in the Slovak Republic where the Koreans are planing to open a new factory this year. The new car will be equipped with six airbags, ESP and diesel engines ranging from 88 to 136 bhp. An estate will follow in 2007. To make the new Zilina factory profitable, sister company Hyundai is building their new Accent, which is based on the same platform as the “ED”, on the same belts.

I think ang pangalan ng model na yan is Cee'd, pronounced as 'seed'. Tama sabi ni Bluebimmer, parang di nga Korean appearance nya kaya mga jap, mag ingat sila kasi the Koreans are coming...he2x
Rear view nga pala ng cee'd:
