    That's good stuff.

    It's probably the only Hyundai/Kia vehicle I actually find appealing.

    I will take a base $15.5k manual Soul+.

    Boy, ordering one of these in a dealer is going to be fun:

    Customer: Hey, I want to see a Soul !

    Dealer: Sir, why are you yelling?

    Customer: I'm not yelling. Just show me all the Souls ! I want to take one of your Souls ! home.

    Dealer: [calls police]

    ----

    Customer: So, I'd to a order a Soul +.

    Dealer: ...plus...?

    Customer: Yes, that's right. A Soul +.

    Dealer: Plus, what?

    Customer: Nothing, just a Soul +.

    Dealer: Sir, please get out.

    Was thinking the same thing, haven't seem times but w/ the 18s w/ 225s they're gonna be atleast 5lbs more per corner. Like was brought up in the mazda3 thread after someone put on the 16" steelies does any sub 180hp car really need anything bigger than a 16" maybe 17" wheel

    They should have a trim package where the dealer just adds random accessories and options it as they please. You can't see it or drive it before you buy it, either, keeping the whole thing a surprise until you take it home. Call it, the Soul ?

    I got to sit in one today at the Indianapolis Auto Show. Very nice car for what it is.

    It was silver, auto, and apparently fully optioned at $19k.
