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

[?NR]

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]

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]

wow kinda nice Its still a KIA

[L-S-D]

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]

wow i thought this was a chinese car at first.

[MegaMx]

KIA ftw

[asian_XL]

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

[roastpuff]

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

[cococly]

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]

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

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

me no like

[JesseBlue]

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]

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.
