Kia To Introduce New Zia

Korean car manufacturer Kia Motors has announced plans to unveil their latest concept car, designed specifically for New Mexico.

Concept model of the new Kia Zia
The Kia Zia, scheduled for availability for the 2009 model year, has been fitted with features appropriate for the Land of Enchantment. The vehicle’s base price has been set at $6,999 to appeal to the lower-demographic population of New Mexico.

On their website, Kia states the new Zias will come standard with a number of safety features and amenities customized for New Mexico residents and will be priced so that even a never-married single woman with four children will be able to afford a brand new car.

Kia Motors ordered numerous demographical statistics charts to get a good idea of the type of vehicle that would most benefit area motorists. Kia executives were perplexed, shocked, and even humored at test results, but proceeded with manufacturing anyway.

In addition to the regional amenity features, Kia states the Zias will be equipped with the best quality components for safety and durability.

Ki-duk Kim, Kia Motors spokesperson, stated, “We make Kia Zia strong. We make it good. We get good price on parts from friends next door in China, then we make best car for world people. Built to last, but don’t drive too fast!”

The Zias will also come standard with a top speed of 86 miles per hour to conserve fuel and to deter people from using the cheap cars as getaway vehicles. Kia states if 88mph is achieved, the Zia will vanish into thin air, leaving behind two flaming skidmarks. The first models will be made available in two styles, Biggie Size Road Monster and Cool Low Rider.

If you are interested in purchasing the new Kia Zia, please visit your local Kia dealership later this year.

2009? The Kia Zia is already out and about in Cruces. They tend to congregate in the parking lot at Sonic on Friday nights.
