2010 Kia Soul Sport:
Powered by a 2.0L engine in Clear White, well sort of...

This is my Soul that is Wrapped and named "TechnoWireRed".  It was featured in the New York Auto Show and used as a promotional vehicle by Kia Motors of America.

Ever since I first saw a Kia Soul while on vacation in Korea I was in love. When the chance to buy this cool Soul came along I couldn't pass it up. She is now my daily driver to and from work but before I owned her she had a pretty exciting life.

Kia Motors took 20 Souls and had them "wrapped" to be on display at the 2009 New York Auto Show. The cars were on display in front of the auto show, were used as promotional vehicles during the auto show, and were then put into service by Kia Motors employees. Each of the 20 Soul's were given names based on their wrap pattern. Mine was called "TechnoWireRed". After a certain amount of miles were driven they were offered for sale. I then bought her for myself to use as a daily driver and to help advertise where I work (I am lucky enough to work for a Kia Dealership. Thats where my love of Souls got started).

I plan on adding a few accessories to her and maybe slightly modifying her. Other than that she is a great daily driver and she will be a fun car to take my family to cruise nights and car shows in.

Love it or hate it the wrap sure is an attention getter! It is removeable so if and when I get tired of the pattern I can take it off and have a white Soul. But until then, I love the TechnoWireRed!

I look forward to meeting other fellow Soul owners...

Interior Photos:
I like how the red interior matches the graphics on the outside. Plus, if/when the wrap comes off, the white will look cool with the interior also.
