Kia will continue to sponsor the Vans Warped Tour this summer. Kia has successfully sponsored this event in the past, and concertgoers genuinely enjoy visiting the Kia Soul Lounge while at the Warped Tour. Kia uses this event to get in touch with young car drivers and promote quality Kia automobiles. Kia has the reputation of creating safe, innovative vehicles and car buyers both young and old visit Kia dealerships to invest in this great brand.

The Kia Soul Lounge, which will appear at every stop on the Vans Warped Tour, contains several activities for fans to participate in. The tent will feature a live DJ as well as a Confessional for concertgoers to express themselves and an airbrush tattoo artist. Fans may also be drawn into the Soul Lounge by the two biggest acts on the tour who will be performing acoustically as well as signing autographs at designated times.

While in the Kia Soul Lounge concertgoers will of course be able to check out the newest Kia automobiles. Kia will provide fans with information on Kia’s most innovative vehicles, including the new “personalizable Soul” and the Kia Sportage 2010 model, as well as provide an opportunity to win a brand new Kia Soul. Kia will also hand out wrist bands to a few fans which will give them access to the VIP riser where they can watch their favorite bands up close and in style.

Kia is determined to give fans the best Vans Warped Tour experience possible. The automaker rounds out their additions with the Kevin Says stage. This stage uses solar power to provide local bands with the opportunity to play their music for the huge Warped Tour audience. Kia is certainly providing Warped Tour concertgoers with incredible opportunities to listen to music, express themselves, and find a brand new safe automobile.

Not only does Kia provide us with several stylish safe cars, several of which have been honored by the IIHS, this automaker truly cares about its customers. Kia is demonstrating how much they want to provide an extraordinary experience for potential Kia car buyers through their efforts at the Vans Warped Tour.

This May Kia Motors America officially announced the new advertising campaign, “This or That” for the Kia Soul 2010.  The “This or That” campaign is a renovated version of the award winning campaign created by David & Goliath which featured the lovable Hamsters. Fortunately, the famous Hamsters are back and better than ever.  The Soul is a fresh and highly customizable passenger vehicle and the campaign tries to incorporate those traits with its creative theme and classic rap song “The Choice is Yours”.  The spot will run on Comedy Central, Fuse, MTV, MTV2, Spike, and other channels through July.  The campaign will also have a presence online at sites such as Pandora, Facebook and a YouTube contest.

“Given the success and popularity of the hamsters in the initial Soul launch with a spot that won Nielsen’s Automotive Ad of the Year, it made sense to bring them back for a new campaign,” said Michael Sprague, vice president, marketing of KMA. “We know the Soul target audience is digitally savvy and that they viewed the first commercial multiple times online, so the newest experience is rich with details in the hamster world and integrated Soul content for them to discover during repeat viewings.”

“”Hamstar™” logoed clothing, as seen in the spot, will soon be available for purchase by fans at www.hamstarclothing.com ”. (check soon for details)

The actual commercial features the Hamsters cruising on through a cityscape behind the wheel of a green Kia Soul.  It is expected that this is one of the color ways that you can expect to see at your local kia dealerships.  The lyrics in the song, “You can get with this, or you can get with that” play off of the myriad of options that customers get to choose from before purchasing their Soul.

The Kia Soul is unique and really is aimed at the young and young-at-heart members of society by offering a great mixture of style, value, and personalization options.  A buyer can choose from an Audio Upgrade Package, speaker lights, mood lighting, or black cloth seats with glowing inserts, and those are just a few of the options available.

When I was a teenager, my parents lectured me every night before going out. “Drive safe, Johnny!” I inevitably rolled my eyes and said “Mom, I’ll be fine! You worry too much.” Little did I know that I would one day be that over-concerned parent myself and now as a husband and father, I can finally appreciate where my parents concern came from all those years ago. My kids aren’t driving yet but my wife totes them around all day and if they weren’t in a safe vehicle I would never have any peace of mind. That’s why my wife and I chose the Kia Sorento, which recently became a “Top Safety Pick,” the highest honor from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).

To earn the “Top Safety Pick” designation from the IIHS, a car must undergo a rigorous set of tests. The designation is given only when said vehicle receives “Good” (the highest possible rating) in all four crash tests – front, side, rollover, and rear impact. Additionally, the vehicle must have electronic stability control.

In the case of the Sorento, it meets all of the above criteria plus more! The CUV comes with safety features such as driver and passenger advanced front airbags, front seat-mounted side airbags, side curtain airbags, front active headrests, a four-wheel Antilock Brake System, electronic brake distribution, hill start assist control, and downhill brake control. With all of this, there’s no other choice for my family and me!

If you’re not a CUV person, there are many other Kia vehicles that have earned this safety distinction as well. Among some of the recipients are the 2010 Kia Soul, 2010 Forte, and the 2006-2009 Kia Sedona minivans.

All of these vehicles and more are available at your local Kia dealerships.  Safety will continue to be a key factor in my car buying decisions and that’s why I will continue to go to Extreme Kia where I can get “Top Safety Picks” like the 2010 Kia Soul or 2011 Kia Sorento! And while I’ll still say “Drive safe” to my wife every time she leaves, I know I’ll have the peace of mind that she and the kids will be protected if the worst case scenario were to ever happen.

The Kia Soul is one of the best cars available for families. The Soul has an incredible amount of options to suit the needs of every type of family.

For individuals looking for a Soul with all the amenities the price increases, but the options are well worth the price. The Soul also has fuel efficiency of 24 miles per gallon in the city and 31 on the highway. This great fuel economy will save families money on gas during everyday driving as well as family road trips. Kia Springfield IL dealers have received rave reviews about the Soul’s incredibly comfortable and convenient performance.

The Soul’s exterior and interior are built to accommodate active families. Bucket seats in the front and folding seats in the back allow parents, children, and pets the freedom to change the interior structure to best fit their individual needs. The Kia Soul was also designed with durable interior so this automobile is easy to clean. The Kia Soul has great upgrade options including keyless entry, leather interior options and upgraded speakers.
