Canadian Supercar Spotted in PA

Most of us who follow supercars and race cars for the street are by now familiar with the fact that the 2015 Kia Rondo is available only in Canada. Sadly, that means that most of us will never see one here in the USA. It's just like when Porsche kept the 959 from us!

But yesterday, I spotted something amazing on the highway...a Canadian-Market Rondo down here undergoing secret warm-weather testing or MPH calibrations or making an Iron City Beer run or something. I managed to grab a shot of it, but owing to the high rate of speed these things can achieve, it wasn't easy.

I know right? You may need a minute after gazing upon its awesomeness. Why Kia? Why do you keep this from us?!?!? I may have to move to...well some place in Canada.

Whoa, could you hear the individual cylinders firing when it passed, like this?

Rondo sounds like a character from Street Fighter or Soul Caliber.

Or one of those dancing games

Very much this. I want those 15 seconds back! Ima send him a bill.

Edit: And the very idea that a Canadian supercar could exist is ludicrous!

I saw one in central Illinois last week and got video. Canadian Supercar

There actually is a Canadian supercar. Its called a Plethore. They pitched Dragons Den a few years ago but it broke. Not sure what happened to it after that.

There's another one I can't remember the name of, but it's more of a track car, not street legal.

Does this qualify as a supercar? I think so.

LOL! Someone gets me.

I actually used to have an example of the first Canadian Supercar!

Do you guys get the Kia Rio? I'm driving that this week. Little bugger has a HEATED steering wheel!

In reply to Lesley:

Do you get to drive the one with the heated back bumper?

(so your hands don't get cold when you have to push...)

No, damn, should have requested that feature.

In reply to bearmtnmartin:

Thought that was exclusive to the new F150s, I mean aluminum all be it lighter and easier to push gets quite cold.

I've driven the Rio several times, it's actually a decent little appliance.
