RX1 ∣ Seoul ∣ 01

The National Assembly Building (국회의사당).

I've been in Seoul, Korea for the past few weeks.

Here are some photos from the city - all taken with the Sony RX1.

I'm a lover of Japanese Kei cars and Kia seemed to have made one themselves. It's called the Ray.

 

As far as I know, the Ray is currently sold only in Korea. Notice how (awesomely) small the wheels are.

 

Like the Japanese cars it imitates, the rear door slides like a minivan.

Very cool.

I think Kia should sells these globally - the world needs more efficient, affordable, compact cars that aren't sedans.

 

Not a fan of the back though.
