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.

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

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.

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

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 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.
