Thread: First drive review: Kia Procee'd GT

Kia's first attempt at a driver's car shows great promise as a value performance hatchbackAt last, the marque which is supposed to be the more youthful and sporty of the Hyundai-Kia twins is facing up to an essential question: what should a quicker, driver-oriented Kia be like? In Germany yesterday, Autocar was shown an impressive answer, which took the form of a test drive of a prototype second-generation Proceed GT — still disguised but with an interior and driving characteristics close to the production spec. The car will be revealed in Geneva next March, will go into production next May, and will be on sale in the UK in June or July.
