I bet when you imagine a car made after the man of steel, you don’t think of Kia. You probably think of some high luxury brand or a truck, but actually Kia has already made quite a few cars based on the different heroes and villians from DC comics. They have done cars based on Batman, The Flash and Green lantern just to name a few. The Batman car was definitely a very popular look, but I think the Superman inspired Optima will draw even more attention. It will be revealed next week at the auto show in Chicago, but in the mean time I included a teaser pic in the gallery, as well as a photo of the Batman inspired car from last year.

Auto Talk: Kia’s rear-drive Frankfurt showcar to be called Veredus?
Car and Driver is reporting that the new rear-wheel-drive sports sedan concept from Kia may be called the Veredus. The vehicle is set to debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show, though the company has been mum on the project’s name so far. Kia filed for a patent on the Veredus name not too long ago, and, as Car and Driver points out, the concept is the only vehicle in the company’s short-term product plan without a name. Sounds like a pretty strong case to us. While the report reminds us that there are plenty of other future nameless Kia models, everything else in the near term has a moniker.
