Kia today released some new images of its up-coming Pop concept car, which will be making its official public premiere at the 2010 auto show in Paris. With the ever increasing of global warming and emissions of cars in the atmosphere, it seems to be the right time, if not late, to come up with some innovative ideas of electric cars, so that a sustainable and healthy environment can be truly attained.
"The 2010 Kia Electric Cars Kia POP Concept Cars fits in perfectly with our 'challenger brand' ethos," Guillaume continues; "We're trying to stir things up in the automotive world, to surprise people even more. We wanted this car to act as a loose nucleus, a wild atom." Kia design chief Peter Schreyer says it "looks even further into the future" than even the next generation of vehicles, which means we can look forward to guppy faces and oblong windows.
The face is actually referred to as "Kia's trademark 'tiger nose,'" and the sweeping, uninterrupted glass above it is a tidy feature. The three-person, "non-automotive" seating is meant to provide perfect vision for the driver and passengers, with a swoopy front bench curved to allow a third seat set at an oblique angle in the rear corner.
The future theme goes minimalist with just one button in the cabin and everything else controlled by the touch screens on the Transparent Organic LED displays. LIthium polymer gel batteries keep the juice flowing throughout, pumping atoms to a 50-kW electric motor good for a 100-mile range and a healthy top speed of 87 miles per hour.

I hope the production version looks identical, or damn close to it. Don't do what Chevrolet did to the Volt; the production model looks like any other car, where the concept version was unique and striking. Your concept car is striking, keep it that way! Lliam
