Something about Kia is different, lately. The company seems more serious, more purposeful, more intent on taking the steps necessary to build cars that last and cars that people count on, in addition to cars that offer a low price and great warranty. Cars like the Multi-S (Sporty, Spacious and Spacious) Concept, a smooth-looking, efficient crossover that debuted at the 2006 Chicago Auto Show. The Multi-S looks very close to an actual production model, and indeed, Kia indicated that it represents a strong hint of what’s to come.
