Kia puts soundtrack to Soul at SEMA

LAS VEGAS -- Kia put a soundtrack to its hot little Soul crossover to show the potential to the little car -- and its connection to pop music.

It unveiled five Souls at the SEMA aftermarket auto parts show here Tuesday, all outfitted to show off the music industry in its myriad forms. But no hamsters, the advertising icons for the car.

"The music connection to Soul has been well established since the beginning," says Scott McKee, a Kia spokesman.

Kia says the five cars included:

Amped Soul.

A version from Popular Mechanics with "larger-than-life" JBL speakers, making it a "boom box on wheels." It has blacked out windows.

Vans Warped Tour Soul

. This one has a 50-inch TV on the roof and speakers built into the sides. A barbecue pulls out from the rear.

DJ Booth Soul.

A DJ can pop out of the foof at a moment's notice. it also has a Pioneer sound mixing system and 19 inch Rotiform BRU wheels.

Music Memorabilia Soul

. Created by Rides magazine, it includes a signed Slash guitar, a G-Unit sneaker signed by 50 Cent, a Jimi Hendrix gold album and a signed John Legend microphone.

The Voice Soul.

This red Soul takes its name from the popular TV show. There are four replicated coaches' chairs inside.
