Kia No. 3 Concept

What it is
Think five-door hatchback roughly half a foot longer than the Honda Fit.

What we like about it
Kia offers a very attractive use of contrasting materials and aggressive lines. Hopefully it will find its way into production and provide one more reason to downsize your vehicle.

Bottom line
Econo-cars are no longer a cheap afterthought at the end of a model lineup, produced to capture a greater share of dealership traffic -- they are now often the cars that drive dealership traffic.
