There is a slight possibility Kia might bring out a vehicle with similar lines and open roof to a Trackick called the Soul'ster (http://industry.bnet.com/auto/1000547/detroit-auto-show-kia-soulster-concept-is-cute-but-risky/). It likely won't be four wheel drive since the Soul isn't. I'd be interested in it though if the price was right. Anyone else here watching this vehicle?

I saw it when it first hit the auto show, kind of a neat looking little rig.  Truth be told though, I would be happy enough if Suzuki brought the 2 door Vitara overseas.  Not a soft top, but it is still a little two door 4x4.  Just not enough of a market for it though.

i dunno, something about it reminds me of the FJ

I can see the resemblance.  I wonder if the soft top would make it to production?

I'm wondering if the rear seats would be left outside with a soft top in place...
