The latest web site from Kia Motors invites enthusiasts and frustrated wannabe customizers to build their own virtual Kia Soul complete with interior, background and Flower Wheels.

What more could you ask for, other than the real thing?
You’ve probably heard enough about the new Kia Soul lately, but here at Summit Place Kia, we can’t get enough of the news, especially considering the fact that it will be at least a few months before we see the real thing. But in anticipation of the official unveiling at next week’s Paris Auto Show, Kia Motors has introduced a web site in Korea that allows visitors to paint, decorate and option out a Soul just the way they want.
Not entirely lost in translation
Since the Soul will be released in Korea before it reaches the U.S., the current web site is designed for the Korean audience. This means that while much of the site is in English, portions of it are displayed only in Korean, meaning that some of the experience is lost through a lack of translation. It almost makes me wish I knew a little Korean. In any case, most of the navigation through the site is fairly intuitive. Even if you can read much of the text, the graphics are very nice – so start building yours!

But wait, there’s more!
Before we give you the web address, there are a few more things you should know. If you’re a frustrated DJ or feeling the least bit musical, the Sing A Soul tab on the site allows you to lay down tracks on a simulated audio board to create your own “Soul Song” (try saying that quickly ten times). You can also view movie shorts, a 3D movie and even the intro TV commercial.
