The Seoul Motor Show is alive and kicking, and
has used its home event to display two new concepts. One is the Mohave Masterpiece large SUV, which is what our
could have become if the
hadn’t been sent to slaughter in 2009 after just one year on sale here. The other concept is the SP Signature, said to preview a compact

listing Kia as one of the automakers with a world debut. That press release has since disappeared, and with
having
announced the even smaller Venue
crossover for New York, it’s possible
to big brother.
