The look of the car relates to the article as the article contains the picture of car with obvious similarities to other car makers…

How many of you idiots actually read the article?

From the uneducated posts, i’d say not very many of you. So how about you keep your mouths shut, or try posting something that actually relates to the article, rather than some crap about it being a copy or a rip off, and so on.

Yep thats an ugly mug of a motor but its not what the threads about. A worthy award to an up and coming manufacturer. Can’t somehow see VW ever getting to number one unless they begin to build more cars in cheaper labor force countries a la all their competitors.

What’s this one, from the Benz E-Class lookalike files?

Does not make up for the fact that the Kia Pregio [nee Bongo] was such a dirty engine it was banned from being imported into AUS.

You truly are a d!ckhead, FO. The Toyota and Nissan 4.2 diesels also banned for the same reason – hardly a blot on Kia.

A ham fisted attempt by KIA to mimic Mercedes. Don’t even try KIA, you are out of your depth.

Watch the Koreans. Anyone that has taken one of the new Kia’s for a spin understands what I’m talking about. Look out Japs.

Yes I think Toyota will eventually succumb to this Korean Duo.

Koreans have done it in the home electronics and whitegoods etc with Samsung/LG.

Yesterdays news Fresh Prince!
What about all those dirty grey import diesel Toyota Surfs on our roads. Ever been stuck behind one in traffic?

Being a Domestic and American market only vehicle, it has the right to look like it does. (it’s called playing to your market)
It’s good to see Kia being allowed to take some limelight by it’s parent company. Also interesting as they currently don’t offer mass market altenate vehilces and yet still keep their foot print low.

US Green Index Survey? That may be so, but this is one very ugly looking car.

I suspect the only thing green about this car is the colour on your face after you’ve stop throwin up from looking at it.

The only environmentally friendly thing going for it is that owners would leave it parked in the garage forever.

Kia, car making experts.
I know through dealer conferences that Toyota is watching Hyundai – Kia very closely and consider them to be their greatest concern.
Hyundai – Kia went from number nine car manufacturer to number five in just two years. I think their concern is warranted.
