the back of the coupe looks pretty cool,
the rest of the car looks way too much like a civic...

?NR 02-15-2009 02:05 PM

but I've always made fun of KIA's regardless because of their name. :lol

Killed In Action

However, these 2 are not bad. I guess there are improvements since I last worked with KIAs.

B-DiZzLe 02-15-2009 02:09 PM

holy shit the second pic looks like a civic.... but it IS an improvement even though it's a KIA... still not my cup of tea

phatpower 02-15-2009 02:45 PM

wow kinda nice Its still a KIA

L-S-D 02-15-2009 03:04 PM

IMO that thing looks like a POS ... plus its a kia lowest quality made car almost lol... civic is nicer then that even tho the seocnd pic makes the look identicle almost in the front

shenmecar 02-15-2009 03:05 PM

wow i thought this was a chinese car at first.

MegaMx 02-15-2009 03:06 PM

KIA ftw

asian_XL 02-15-2009 05:11 PM

sooner or later, every two cars will have one korean car...let's watch

roastpuff 02-15-2009 05:39 PM

Lol, the front is like a Civic's fraternal twin... just different enough to avoid copyright infringement.

cococly 02-15-2009 05:42 PM

Crappy built-quaility, but great designs...

They still have to fight againist the DEEP depreciation issue. Some of the Korean cars depreciate at 60% a year...

asian_XL 02-16-2009 06:51 AM

please find me a fully loaded 2008 model that is under $10,000

Mugen EvOlutioN 02-16-2009 07:52 AM

me no like

JesseBlue 02-16-2009 11:46 AM

when people say its crappy quality, is it from heresay? or do you actually have evidence? i just want to know if its just somewhere you here or what

Mancini 02-16-2009 01:04 PM

It seems that Kia is developing their product and image much like Honda and other Japanese manufacturers did in the 80's. Previously thought of as junk only to eventually become a benchmark.
