If you've heard anything about the 2012 Kia Soul, you know it's a stylish little vehicle with a ton of personality. The new Kia Soul is a great fit for daring drivers like United States Army Corporal Christopher Melendez, who was injured in the line of duty while on patrol in Iraq. Melendez needed a special Kia to fit his needs as a disabled veteran, and Kia fit those needs with a special Soul donation through partnership with the Wounded Warrior Project. Melendez was presented with the vehicle during the 2012 NY International Auto Show.

Did you know that Kia is the fastest growing auto brand in America? In 2012, the auto company is positioned to sell more than 500-thousand crossovers and cars for the first time since it entered the market in 1994. Though up to this point Kia has often lived in the shadow of another South Korean automaker, Hyundai, with its new manufacturing expansions and popular products, it's really stealing the spotlight.

Kia is known for offering some of the most cost-efficient and well-equipped vehicles on the market, but it's also known for taking part in several important local community initiatives. The American branch of the auto brand recently joined with LPGA star Michelle Wie to donate $50,000 to an after school program in Southern California named Camp Pendleton's Armed Services YMCA Operation Hero Program. Kia is a major sponsor of the LPGA, so teaming up with Wie was a no-brainer for the company.

Kia has always been known for its small, affordable, fuel-efficient cars and SUVs and its dedication to the environment, but now the auto brand has taken this commitment a step further by signing a Memorandum of Understanding with the United Nations Environment Programme in support of the group's important World Environment Day, which has been celebrated every year on June 5^th since 1972. This year's WED theme is "Green Economy: Does it include you?"

Kia Motors is viewed as a rising star. The automaker's assortment of strong, reasonably priced cars continues to increase, and its worth does so as well. To build on its success, Kia Motors America has aligned with the LPGA (Ladies Pro Golf Association). Kia will serve as the "Official Automotive Partner of the LPGA" and the "Official Tournament Vehicle" of eight LPGA tournaments.

What is it that makes LPGA and Kia great business allies?
