Well my local dealership has one but it is an import model that they can't drive around. I like that there will be in house upgrades similar to what Scion has done and what the Cube will do. Still unsure about saying that I would own a Kia. My neighbors will think I am weird with 2 or more boxy vehicles in the driveway.
