Already saw one ng napadaan ako sa Dipolog City. Very cute talaga and unique ang design. Blue stone daw ang tawag sa color. Tipong very light blue green. Powered by 1.6 gasoline engine. Owned by the local Kia dealer daw and the driver told me dadalawang units lang pinarating sa Pinas. He said the price is around 1.3m which I think is too much. The other unit is owned by official ng Columbian. Sorry guys wasn't able to get a picture.

Mahal naman nyan..Grabe!!

**LeOxe** · July 13th, 2009 03:55 PM

1.3mil?! are they serious? grabe naman mag price ang columbian! 100% profit per vehicle? grabe talaga! bili ka nalang ng SUV for that price or better yet the carens lx crdi. mas maganda pa ang carens - diesel with vgt na, crdi pa!

**LeOxe** · July 13th, 2009 04:01 PM

mahilig yata ng 1 million tag price ang columbian. a year before, the carens lx crdi mt is just priced at 885k+ but now 1.1mil na.

di tayo magtataka in a few years from now, the picanto would already be competing in the altis price range while the rio in the camry price range.

i wonder bkt mas mahal ang kia. pero sa exterior dko gsto ang kia except for the new carnival. mas gsto ko designs ng hyundai and mas reasonable ang price.. anyway kanya kanyang perception lang naman yan eh. pero for a priice of 1.3m sa soul, magmomontero na lang ako. hehehe. no offense KIA

onga no? the soul's rumored price is in the montero sport territory already. mas value for money talaga bumili ng montero sport kesa soul kasi suv na siya, with high ground clearance at diesel pa!

ur ryt about that leoxe!

**motegi** · July 14th, 2009 10:25 PM

Hopefully that wont be their SRP. Unless they would treat the Soul as a big opportunity to rake up big profit coz of no competition in this segment of our auto industry. It's no longer surprising for Columbian selling their vehicles at premium but if it's really priced at 1.3M all I can say it's GREED to the max.

**legend2destiny** · July 14th, 2009 10:35 PM

WTF 1.3M? are they crazy? Its no where near Montero, Fortuner, CRV & the likes. With that pricing its just going to sell like the Prius or even worse.

**josep** · July 15th, 2009 09:07 AM

Isn't Kias' Soul enters the level of yaris/jazz car segment & competing in this price range? hindi nman to sedan, diba?

Grabe nman tong CAC! I wouldn't be surprised at all basing on their current car prices, ang mamahal!!!

Sana hindi ganito ang price ng Soul... if it comes out near an SUV price range, then CAC is 'way out of their heads...!' they are MAD!

**jave** · July 15th, 2009 10:16 AM

...Huh? 1.3m SRP...? Kia's really overshooting it this time. It's like they don't want to compete with the other brands. I do hope that they're not as stupid as to push through with this.

For that price, I'd rather get a 2.0 Subaru Forester.

**wavecxs** · July 15th, 2009 10:42 AM

Nice to know that this vehicle is coming over to our shores.

Although, I will probably not own it even if I have the money. Columbia has been crazy lately with the prize of Kia here in RP. It is just not reasonable at all. Greedy to the max!

The carens is one of the finest vehicle we've owned. But it will probably be the last Kia we will buy... until Columbia wakes up and realize that their prices are outrageously high.

Sayang naman yung (kia) brand. maganda pa naman

**eggman** · July 15th, 2009 03:21 PM

Diesel VGT kasi yata kaya mahal..

**valskie01** · July 15th, 2009 03:26 PM

sigurado 1m+ price nito pag vgt equipped. yung hyundai i30 1.6 crdi is 1.068m na ito pa kaya

The one I saw is Gas fed 1.6 cvvt.

**Revenant** · July 15th, 2009 06:12 PM

Hindi kaya nagkamali lang yung dealer? Kasi kahit saang webpage ko makita, mas mura yung Soul kesa i30 tsaka Carens.

korek ka diyan Revenant! kahit saang website din ako nagsusurf, mas mura talaga ang Soul kesa Carens. yung price range nga niya ay same level sa Jazz and Yaris. so dapat sila ang competition nito and not the big SUVs like Montero Sport. 5-seater MPV lang kaya ang Soul. Haay naku Columbian.
