2012 Kia cee’d revealed

The 2012 Kia cee’d debuts at Geneva After a single photo of the 2012 Kia cee’d in January, Kia now reveals its new cee’d ahead of a Geneva debut.

Let’s take a look at a selection of the images, starting with this pit stop picture from Scuderia Toro Rosso team boss, Franz Tost.
