i just showed this to my friend and he pointed this out to me
look at the side body panel
theres no specific quarter panels
it runs along the whole side of the car
that means if u get hit anywhere there, u r screwed!
lol
are those carbon fibre wheels with chrome on them too?
lots of CF pieces on the exterior it seems
or CF overlay
which is very un-Kia like...!
cant believe they stole the steering wheel from honda too!
LMAO

People on this forum give me greif because I hate Korean vehicles, as they cant come up with their own damn designs. Now you take a look at the new vehicles from kia and Hyundai, you will now notice that they could never possibly make a vehicle on their own...
Some people say "Oh Toyota copied so-and so and why can't Hyundai/Kia get away with it too?" Do you people even realize what toyota vehicles looked like when they first made their way to the USA? Little *** cars that could fit 4 people rather snuggly. I have never been able to see a resemblance from a toyota vehicle to any other brand. Japanese do it right...Koreans copy. Why buy a korean car and support that little man with the wild hair in the first place?? Idiot people these days
I hope these car companies file BIG lawsuits on Hyundai corporation and put them out of business forever.

^^Whats with all that Korean bashing and hating. Samsung is one of the leaders in electronics and they make some quality LCD tv's . There are always people who will buy their cars for their low prices. Copy or not people will like the way it looks and will choose it over the civic. I personally think it looks better than the civic and if I was a on a budget, I'd pick one up too.

But I agree. This.... is a blatant copy, WHICH I find unusual considering their new designer if previously from Audi.
Hyundai however, with regards to the Genesis and Genesis coupe... are not copied to this magnitude.

Mmm I mix-matched my info...I thought they were based out of North Korea, my bad

my 9 year old nephew knows who kim jeong il is, and he ain't bobby kim. lol unfriggin believable... doesn't know the difference between north and south? maybe it's a kentucky thing? or home school gone bad?
and yeah, kia is the only company copies others. look at current boring kia lineups. we should be praising what they have accomplished. at least they are trying, and they are trying to make it look better.
