What kind of Kia is this? The back end was too close to the fence to see the badge.

That's what I first thought but it's a bit small and the front windows don't seem right.

Could very well be an optima; Grill and lights look the same, front fogs and surrounds a bit different though

Don't Kia make different models for different markets? The Ceed is Europe only thus would guess that the "Forte" is made for alternative markets. If I am correct the only way you would see one in the UK would be if its an import and would anybody go to the trouble when the Ceed is probably a better car.
