Kia motors still plans to bring new clean and green models to the U.S., but its plan to create a separate green brand identity under the EcoDynamics label has been dropped.

It's the economy - Kia has decided it would simply cost too much to launch a new brand identity campaign to educate consumers about a lineup of EcoDynamcs cars, U.S. product planning director Orth Hedrick told Wards Auto.
We applaud the idea. There are too many brands out there already.
We do hope, though, that Kia comes up with a nice short name and a badging system to identify those vehicles in its lineup that deliver improved fuel economy and cleaner exhaust. Maybe a chrome circle with "EcoD" in green enamel lettering?
