So let’s get this name thing out of the way first.

Kia have just launched a car onto the Australian market called the pro_cee’d GT.

It’s a ridiculous name.

“Proceed” on its own is not all that exciting.  It’s hardly flash.  To proceed has the image of trundling along at a steady pace.  Hardly sporty.

And this is a sporty car.

So is the car good despite its name.

Is this the motoring equivalent of “A Boy named Sue”?

Let’s find out from Brent Davison the motoring editor of Newcastle Herald and the Illawarra Mercury.
