In early July, Kia confuse everyone by releasing three pictures of its new Forte sedan, without a single word of text explaining them.

Now here's a leak of the brochure for the car that goes a long way in shedding light on exactly what the company has wrought. The car will, in fact, replace the Spectra as has been speculated [...]

In Japan, the car will range in price from about $11.200 to $18,500 (U.S. dollars).

It is available in both a 124 hp 1.6-litre gasoline and 128 hp 1.6-litre turbo diesel engine, according to the report. It is expected that we will see the car in mid-2009 as a 2010 model with a coupe version to follow a year later.

It seems that the new car has improved very much more technology inside, by the way, Spectra was a disaster in this area.
