I ask again (this went up yesterday, by the way): what is a hatchback useful for with an engine in it? And what is under the hood? I don't see this rumor turning into reality.

Ah, looked through here but I swear no one else had posted about it yet. Guess I didn't do enough digging.

The car is pretty clearly a test mule. GM was using Holden UTE monstrosities to test the C8 Corvette.

Kia Making a mid-engined sports car?

This would be really interesting, Kia is just doing amazing things! carbuzz.com/news/kia-is-working-on-a-mid-engined-sports-car Sorry - I can't post links here because my account is hardly used and it won't allow me. As the article mentions, they are using a Stinger body as the mule

mid engine sports cars are such a niche segment I find it almost amazing that the Koreans are spending a dime on it ? fun to see what they are up too , I'll bet its a Hyundai N variant not a Kia that the project is focused on
