The first press conference I attended at The Chicago Auto Show Media Preview was put on by Kia. I enjoyed the Kia Sorento that I test drove a few years back, so I was curious to see what their newest models would have to offer.
On display was the Kia K900, the only car that has Morpheus as a spokesperson. They showed us the Matrix-themed commercial on the big screen, which was awesome for this Matrix fan!
During the press conference, Kia unveiled several new cars, including the 2015 Kia Soul EV and the 2014 Optima Hybrid, as well as their Niro Hybrid concept vehicle.
At the end of the press conference, they brought out these “Dancing hamsters” and let us get a closer look at the new cars. When I was looking at the press materials after the event, Jai spotted me in the crowd in some of the photos:

I don’t get the hamster thing at all, but that’s just me. I hear so many good things about Kia’s that I might get one for my next car!
I just love the look of that car!!!!!!!!!
Makes me wish I could afford a new car 🙂 I would love to get a hybrid.
That mouse guy near the Kia is super creepy, but the car looks awesome!
Kia makes some really cool cars. I think I liked the chubby, normal looking hamsters better, but the hamsters don’t affect my opinion of Kia either way!
I have heard lots of great things about Kia. I need to take a test drive.
Kia’s seem to be fairly decent cars. Years ago I considered getting a Kia but at the time went with a Toyota and have stuck with it. My friend has a KIA SUV tho and is obsessed with it
I am amazed at all the Kia does with tiny cars… ha! Sounds like a great day
That Matrix-themed commercial was one of my favorites from the Super Bowl! How cool that you got an closeup look at the car!
I love the new Kia’s. The hamster commercials were just odd, but they did stick in your head. I love the blue color of the car in your posts – that hue is amaze-balls!
I have to admit, the hamsters make me laugh. Great pictures of the cars! I’ve heard that Kia is a great brand.
Those dancing hamsters crack me up. Those cars look amazing!!!
I love the hamsters, right is that what they are? Great branding!
That car looks awesome! Bet you had a blast!
oh very slick and stylish rides, looks like a fun show!
YOu know what’s funny? My last employer was based in the Netherlands and one of their most successful campaigns ever featured hamsters. Must be a thing. haha
These new cars are getting smaller and smaller but cooler and cooler!
Do I need a new car or what. The Kia looks great.
My KIA Sorento is the best car I’ve ever had. Love love love!
The dancing hamsters has been such a great marking idea for them. It certainly is catchy. Nice looking vehicles for sure!
These are gorgeous cars! I could certainly use a new one!
I like that first one! 🙂
My daughter just looked over my shoulder and said “I want that.” and pointed to the Kia. She turns sixteen in a couple of months. Their marketing toward the younger generation is working well. Glad you had a good time at the auto show.
I like the one that looks like a mini cooper but a little bit bigger!
These cars look so beautiful. I like the interiors and the colors of the paints.
The Kia looks amazing! Love the colors and pictures!
Wow, those cars are sleek. Those hybrids are really something. Love the looks!
