Anyone want a Kia STi??

http://newsmotoring.news.com.au/dail...E17002,00.html

Too funny. The best quote has to be: "The dealer-fitted Sport-Pac adds 15x6-inch gold ROH Strada alloy wheels that look an awful lot like the STi rims, wearing 195/50 Bridgestone Potenza tyres."

I'm sure with that tire/rim setup you'll be handling like you're on rails.

I'd almost consider that for a beater car except for the fact that I'd risk being smoked by a Toyota Prius or Honda Insight.

$55,130 Australian = $36,689 USD
$18,028 Australian = $11,997 USD

Heck, for $12k that's not a bad STi ripoff....

Assuming I'm calculating correctly it has
166hp
156lb/ft torque
