they really need to design a special badge if they are going top of the line, kinda like the gensis...

The KIA logo just ruins the car.

Here's the head designer...he's German....

Wonder if BMW will sue KIA on design infringement. They look so similar that I, as purchaser, can get easily confused.

Wow I really like the look! I stand firm that both Hyundai and Kia will be the next Honda and Toyota :)

How much do you figure this will cost?

dark0821 07-11-2012 11:10 AM
probably a 5 series money, its not gonna be cheap... just cheaper
but ya... at least to me, it looks better than the 7? lol maybe its just me then

Rear looks like a LS450

I've had my 750i for over a month and I'm bored with it, lol. The 7 series does look good with the m sport package or the Alpina body parts.

If you mean they'll look the same but lack the reliability, then I agree 100%

Timpo 07-12-2012 10:11 PM

TIMPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Lomac 07-12-2012 10:25 PM
Am I the only one that fails to see much of a copy? There are similarities but nothing that looks like Kia simply copied the 7ser...

how can you say they are reliable when the new and improved models have not even been around for that long yet? :fulloffuck:

Should have bought an E38, brah. That way, the time you'd spend being bored with it would have been spent fixing broken things.

Harvey Specter 07-12-2012 11:51 PM
I'm most likely getting rid of my car end of this year for either the gran coupe or a panamera. The 7er is a lovely car but I want something that I can whip around the corners and doesn't feel so big.

RabidRat 07-13-2012 08:35 AM
Honestly, I'd buy one.

The new Optima looks fucking amazing also. Especially the SX's with the LED tail lights. Not too slow either, 274hp out of the 2L turbo!

Styling perhaps, but details like the gear shifter is a blatant copy; from the unique shape to button layout.

Also the dash looks exactly the same, right down to the heads up display.
