Is this the next-generation Kia Forte?

An independently-owned Kia-dedicated blog has revealed what it says is a sketch of the next-generation Forte sedan.

According to Kia-World.net, the exclusive image it received is a preview of the next-generation Forte sedan that is set to debut sometime in 2012.

If this is indeed what the next-generation Forte sedan will look like, what's your take on the design? Considering that the current-generation Forte is based on the platform of the previous-generation Elantra, could the next-generation Forte also follow suit and be based on the current-generation Elantra?
