First Official Pictures

Kia will replace the Picanto city car in spring 2011 - and these are the first pictures of the new 2011 small car.
The production Picanto will be shown at the Geneva motor show in March, with UK sales slated to begin soon after 'from late spring 2011.'
The new Picanto: the latest European Kia
It's yet another design from Kia's European styling studio in Germany led by ex-Audi man Peter Schreyer.
The blurb claims the new Picanto exudes 'self confidence, solidity and maturity', but we'd caution that it'll have to live up to the hope of these first design sketches. All too often we've seen promising doodles dilute into routine humdrum.
Still, these first pictures of the new 2011 Picanto show a pert city car with sharp creases and a Ford-alike gaping lower grille.
