  | Watch out M, AMG & RS: Kia to launch "XR" performance range!  Korean automaker Kia plans to roll out a new line of performance sedans and hatchbacks over the next three years under the "XR" badge, according to a new report from Britain's Autocar. The company will offer a selection of up-rated engines, which could include naturally-aspirated, turbocharged, and supercharged mills. Turbocharged engines would be aimed at European customers, while supercharged powerplants would be marketed to Americans, a source told the magazine. Kia revealed a modified Cee'd hatchback during a press event at its headquarters earlier this month. Although company officials said the vehicle was merely a standard Cee'd with a styling kit, sources say the production XR models will be very similar. "XR" badging lends credibility to these rumors.

| Re: Watch out M, AMG & RS: Kia to launch "XR" performance range! {Insert Laughter} The Koreans must not get ahead of themselves. First you've got to build a decent luxury/sports car and then tune it, you can't just jump right to competing agains BMW's and Mercedes' specialty cars. M |
