My god does kia have no imagination, when I first saw the commercial I though "oh honda is advertising a newer civic" wrong. It reminds me of when chevy and geo copy cats of my '99 corolla. Although it does come with a 2.4L, it still doesnt make enough power compared to a si.

 

man thats a carbon copy wtf someone needs to do sth to put kia in their place this is ridiculous

 

sad thing is they probably spent enough time copying the civic that they could just design a whole different car

 

the price will draw civic shoppers away

 

is that new new civic euro?

 

Uh, the Geo Prizm WAS a 99 Corolla. Same plant, same sheet metal, same car.

I agree about the Forte though. With all the progress Hyundai/Kia has been making they should end the overt design rip offs if they want to be taken seriously.

 

its a kia what can you expect....they cant afford an imagination

 

The concept looked so much better...albeit, a ripoff from the other manufacturers.

The same basic styling cues remained making the real deal just look like a dumbed down version. WTF

wtf, is that SMG? (in the concept interior images)

LOLOL

 

are there any interior shots i would love to see what they copied there

 

From what I have read, it drives pretty well and offers a lot more content than comparable cars. However, I just read that Kia's have some of the worst resale. Pick one up a year later and it's probably dirt cheap.

 

i wonder how long til they copy the 8 and just stick a piston engine in it

 

yeah that looks exactly like a civic or tsx

 

I can already see some teens trying to rice it out.....hmmm remove some badges and replace them with honda and you got your self a "special edition" honda. I wonder if they are going to do a buy 2 get one free.

 

I think Kia did a better job than Honda. Looks good to me. saw one in person. Told my buddy who just bought a Si that he should've gotten that.

 

How much HP?

 

^ rofl.

my buddy and i were laughing at this. there was a hyundai dealership right next to a honda dealership and they put both of these cars right next to each other. we were loling.

did anyone catch the mazda6/protege3 copy?

 

Kia for da win!
