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”?
