Jedi sent me this pic a bit ago of a camo'd car he spotted on the highway




we had pretty much decided it was a Taurus mule or some other Ford testing but then i saw this today

So now we know it was this new Kia

 

hmm, looks like a madza 6 / focus

 

Yeah, i don't like it

 

I think it looks pretty sleek.

It's still a Kia, though.

 

holy crap, that was a KIA?!
wow.
I remember taking the pic and thinking, "I'll call Zoom, he'll know what this this."
When we chatted on the phone, we both thought it was a Ford based on the front fender.

Who would have thunk...

 

i sent a "tip" to autoblog for you too

 

Not bad. The nose is very KIA but the rest is bold. The wheels are not my taste but they might be aerodynamic.

Paul.

 

This is my problem with Kia. It used to be their horrific quality. They are admittedly getting better.

But so many of their vehicles are complete rip-offs of other cars, style-wise.

For your consideration:
Kia Spectra
Mazda Protege5

Or

Kia Cerato Koup
Mitsubishi Lancer

Or

Kia Soul
Scion xB

Or

Kia Amanti
Jaguar S Type


And sadly, the list goes on.


Come out with something new, style wise? Maybe?

 

The new cheapness....

Daddy does not like.
