we will not be seeing the Creta land in the Great White North
I'm not mourning the loss, but why the :censor: not?  Didn't every other manufacturer just join the party over here?

I'm guessing it'll be FWD only with a weakling engine that wouldn't fly so well in the Great White North...

Not in Canada?

Makes me wonder if they feel that the Kia Soul already fills this niche. Folks who want AWD with their box on wheels can get a Tucson or Sportage...

Tucson is compact and based off the Elantra. Santa Fe is Mid-size and based off the Optima.

The Soul is supposed to get AWD, too, potentially.
