The Spectra hasn't changed much for 2008, since Kia restyled the front and rear of the Spectra for 2007, giving the compact sedan a new grille, bumper and deck lid. In addition, the interior got a new dashboard as well as some other tweaks in 2007. The Spectra competes with small cars like the Ford Focus, Chevrolet Cobalt and Nissan Versa sedan.  Read More
