2014 Kia Soul “Red Zone” takes it to the house

Kia Motors America announced its first special edition for the second generation 2014 Soul, dubbed “Red Zone.” This quirky, boxy compact car will get a head-to-toe makeover, taking inspiration and design cues from the 2012 Chicago Auto Show favorite, the Track'ster concept. The exterior of the Soul gets bright white paint, accented by pops of red. The grille, front and rear fascias and side skirts also will receive the distinguished red embellishments, adding to what Kia describes as “the aggressively styled body kit.” Custom 18-inch alloy wheels complete the “Red Zone” makeover.

But the latest Audi TT is a much better car and does offer real performance and real driving fun, especially if you opt for the TT RS. In the fifteen years since the TT launched, Audi has managed to flog 500,000, and to celebrate we’re treated to a new TT limited edition – the Audi TTS Limited Edition – which comes with cosmetic tweaks and as a coupe or roadster.
