Reports have begun to trickle in from South Korea that Kia's Soul'ster Concept will be heading for production in 2010. Based on the Soul hatchback, the Soul'ster Concept debuted at the 2009 North American International Auto Show in Detroit. The rugged open-top has been hinted for production numerous times, including on a blog post at Kia's corporate blog, Kia BUZZ, where the automaker stated that its production depends solely on media and public feedback.According to Tom Kearns, lead designer of the Soul'ster Concept, building the car would not be a huge investment. Kia's plan to bring the Soul'ster into production became apparent as it recently began the tedious legal procedures of registering the Soul'ster name with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
