Hi Matilda (R).
Current Kia (South Korean car maker owned by Ford, hence the oval
badge that can be swapped over for a Ford badge in different markets)
models: <http://www.kia.com.au/cms/default.asp?action=3Darticle&ID=3D88>
Rio, Sorento (sic) , Carnival, Cerato (huh?), Optima (huh?) Pregio (Van
for female builders labourers on maternity leave?).
Heard of the Shuma, from a few years ago, which shared common
components with the Mentor, Spectra (?) and Carens (nice if your name
is Karen?). Maybe some of the names sound better or mean more when
compared with Korean than English words. Just don't know.
There's no "Holden Telstra" (apart from the Telstra fleet of
Commodores). You're thinking of the Ford Telstar, a rebadged Mazda
626 that was actually a rather good car, usually made in Hiroshima
by Mazda alongside the 626.
HTH.

What about the car called Shuma. I think it's by Kia?
And then there's Holden's Telstra. (no not dyslexic ;-) )
