New car coming out from Kia. Likes and dislikes?

 

looks ok from the side but the fact that the front and back of the car say kia i would shoot myself if i owned another on of them POS again

 

Don't like it... Although it's boxy, the look is just too soft. It's more of a family car/grocery getter.

Definitely not a "tuner car" lol

-THE DON

 

It's a Kia.

'Nuff said...

 

but it has side vents

 

Kia's are still terrible.

At least Hyundai has made huge strides in quality.


Is that going to be a production car?

 

Typical of se Asia... they cannot or will not think for themselves... all they do is a p*ss poor "clone" whatever is selling in the US.. that goes for China as well.
just my 1.75 cents worth

 

I don't know that I'd consider Korea SE Asia - little to far north and too cold for that.



Maybe NE Asia right next to Japan.

 

I'd rather buy a Hyundai...

 

i think it looks ok, theres one i awlays see driving around here, because i live right next to kia HQ, so im guessing they gave one of the employees one to test it out before it hits the market in march. but they are def copying the whole scion scene with all of the custom factory options you can do. im just curious to see the mpgs on it

 

style wise, i say it is acceptable. I agree with most of you that i would not want to buy one, but if its free i'll take it.

 

PROS: vaguely square-like
CONS: Everything else


That WAS a joke, right?

 

Kia has run a promotion several times of buy one get one free on their cars.

That should tell you all you need to know about their product.


If they really wanted to fk you, they would make you take 3 of them.

 

some of the comments are to funny ...and yeah everyone pretty much sumed it up ...i belive kia is partially owned by gm?can anyone confirm this..

 

GM does own a large part of Daewoo, in fact the Aveo is a re-badged Daewoo model.

Kia Motors is a subsidiary of Hyundai Kia Automotive Group...

 

That's who it was.thankyou it was at the tip of my tongue

 

No. Why? Something wrong with Hyundai?

 

Actually it is something like preferring the GMC pickup to the Chevy pickup since Hyundai owns Kia...

 

No, just wondering how it is you have a clear preference, when Kia and Hyundai have been the same company since the late '90's.

You know...like, say, Infiniti and Nissan. That one should sound a little more familiar. If not, please stay away from my car.

Tomas beat me to the punch. "These Buicks are CRAP, I'm buying a CHEVY!"
