Its the Rondo in the US. Probably not coming here due to low sales for the segment, but who knows? The GT500 and ZL1 need SOME competition.

Already Winter testing the Carens! They will have a long and a short wheelbase version, and a Hyundai variant. Oh please bring it to the US!
Here's a video for everyone eagerly watching the development of the Carens.
Kinda makes the hype around the FR-S/BRZ seem miniscule in comparison. I have heard stories about people planning big launch parties and dropping off blank checks at their Kia dealers.

Must be some serious hype for people to get excited about a video of a very plain-looking car tooling around at very low speeds.
I'm not seeing the appeal. it's a small minivan/wagon. What sets it apart form everything else in thats segment? or is this a joke and I'm just late to the party?

^^ So I'm not the only one then?
Looks like a normal ugly little crossover to me. It looks to be FWD, whats the big hoopla over a turd?

I don't get it either.

I see ZERO way this is any competition to a GT500 or ZL1. Now a competitor for the CRV maybe.
Yeah there are many new FWD cars that are lighter, smaller and less plain-looking. Meh.
This thread is a joke, right?

WHY? Please enlighten us.
Because it's the Carens! I can't believe you didn't hear about it before now.

I think they're berkeleying with us lol...
If this were 1984 then I'd guess they were serious, but not so much today.
Good News.
