Kia Rondo Concept
February 7th, 2007
The brand new Kia will be using the 2007 Chicago Auto Show as its way to debut its Rondo SX Concept. We don’t have much information on the vehicle at this time, besides the fact that it’s based on the Rondo and features a more aggressive front end with a big lower air intake and a revised rear with what we assume to be faux diffusers stationed in between a pair of tailpipes.
