i like what the ex-Audi guy is doing with kia.

He practically lifted the windows from the A5.




and of course, why buy Honda when you can have Kia...

2 side rear windows is the only similarity that I see.

I can see many styling cues in the body. It looks more like a worked over Civic SI. Might be a good seller for KIA to compete with the Honda Civic.

Civic front + Audi side + maybe RSX/1st Gen TSX rear

Overall a good execution from Kia.

More or less confirms that the Koreans cannot effectively create their own design language.

Looks entirely like a mix of A5 lines on the front, an Eos upswept beltline and a Civic front end. Doesn't look bad, but in the same way the Genesis has a Mercedes front end.

I like the tail lights... and that's it.

as long as it works, no one cares.

99% of car buyers don't overanalyze like we do on this forum.

IMHO, don't think Audi is worried about A5 sales being stolen by this car.

dunnojack

of course not. the A5 is way way way overpriced junk, so it wasn't gonna sell anyway.

Junk is right! Neither me or any of my boys will ever buy an Audi... Too many problems on them S4 and TTs...

I think it resembles the Civic much more so than the A5. Looks like Hyundai/Kia' designers are going to cut and paste their way to the top.

FKL

overpriced, definitely. More power to em' if they can sell them at that price.

Junk, no. Sexy baby. Honestly there are a lot of A5s rolling around here in and in person they are just gorgeous.
