KIA SOUL (2009-2010)
Launched together with the expensive Forte and Mohave, the Soul is their contender to the compact SUV or car (whatever you call it) category but this version ends up unsuccessful due to brand new prices. Do take note the 2.0 models are short lived, and replaced by a sole 1.6 model in 2011.
