Kia's future cars timeline that outlines the release dates of its upcoming cars has been leaked today. It looks 99% genuine, but I advise you to always take speculations with a grain of salt.
For 2008, Kia will commence sales of the Forte on August 22nd and Soul in September. 2009 will bring in a myriad of redesigns or new models. The 2010 Sorento will be released in March, while the long-awaited 2010 Forte Coupe will arrive in May. Kia also plans to release an intermediate sedan similar to the Hyundai Azera in August, 2009 (code-named VG). A new C-segment MPV (google "spy shots of Kia Cee'd Plus") will arrive in the fourth quarter of 2009.
2010 will also bring a host of new models into the line-up. The Sportage will be redesigned, and will be released in February. The redesigned Optima/Lotze will debut in May, while a new successor to the Amanti/Opirus will arrive in September. A Europe-only redesign of the Rio will be released in November. Lastly, 2011 will also bring four new redesigns onto the table. Kia will unveil the full redesign of the Rio/Pride for the North American and South Korean markets in January. The Morning/Picanto will be redesigned in April, and the Sedona/Carnival will fully change in June. The Cee'd will undergo a full redesign in December.
And no, the stunning Kue Concept will not go into production. Expect some design "kues" to make it onto Kia's production cars, though.
