Kia and Antenna Magazine Are Pairing up to Make A Retro Surf-Themed Rio

Interested in checking out Sema this year? Well, we know that there is always a lot to see at Sema, and Kia is not going to let this event pass them by. Kia has decided to team up with Antenna Magazine to create a special surf-themed concept car to show off in Las Vegas at Sema. We will be seeing a 2012 5-door Kia Rio which will be customized with sun-set metallic paint, some custom gold wheels, and a wooden front splitter. This is going to make for one heck of a Kia Rio, undoubtedly. Heck, just check out the picture that is associated with this article, and you will get a little sneak peak of what you can expect to see at Sema this year.

Inside of the Kia Rio you can expect to find a 1980’s gaming console, a record player, and even shelves if you want to put away your shoes and swimsuits. However, there is definitely one flaw in this custom Rio. They forgot to put a surf rack on top of the vehicle, which would make it much easier to transport your boards to the beach.

That is not only the design flaw we can see in this special Rio. For instance, they decided to put the vinyl record player underneath the shelves which can contain your shoes and swimsuits. This is a poor decision when it comes to the design of the car, because if someone actually wanted to use the record player, sand could get on it from the shoes and swimsuits. I believe we all know that sand and record players do not typically go hand-in-hand with each other. Kia plans on showing off this custom Rio on November 1^st.
