I hope the soul is the same way I think it must truly be a great car, but I doubt it's as spacious as good as the xB. It still is excellent looking and excellent priced though.

xB, Kia Soul, and Nissan Cube

The local mall has one of these on display. The thing is great looking, imo. From the rear it looks rather sport-carish. I loved the hounds tooth covered seats too. Kia is making big strides with their new designs. The Soul is optioned well and priced right. If I was buying something new, I'd seriously look into it. I tried to get my gf to try one before she bought her Wrangler, but she is still anti Kia unfortunantly.

I have a Wrangler and no way would I have chosen the Soul over the Wrangler either. The Soul looks great, but it just isn't a Jeep.

Me too- there's a few different versions out there, but I like this one with the Calvin Harris song best-

I understand what you are saying, but this really didn't apply to my gf.

You're looking at 30mpg in the Soul versus mid-teens with the Wrangler. Ever hear the expression Jeep = Just Empty Every Pocket? The 100k warranty on the Soul is good for some peace of mind too

Kia and Hyundai have to offer that HUGE warranty in order to sell their products.

No they don't. They didn't always have that warranty, and they stuff still sold. Now, the warranty is a huge plus on an already good product. Hyundai/Kia have come a long way, and they are only getting better.
