Default RX300 and Sorento - Imitation as Flattery

Not a new topic, but I couldn't resist posting these pictures. They're screen captures from the manufacturers' web sites.

I have heard of this comparison before.

In my neighborhood in Mexico City, there are a few foreigners (clowns in my view) that have Hyundai Santa Fe's and Kia Sorrento's. I have heard from my Mexican friends that these foreigners boast that these 'cars' will best my Lexus any day. LOL.

The only thing I like about the Kia is its long warranty.

Default Kia / Rx comparison revisited

Wow, (again)

I can't believe how paranoid all you Quality Lexus owners are. If you research alittle first you would see the the Kia falls...literally short of the RX. First engine - 3.5 L only putting out a measley 192 HP.....Rx300 3.0 L 225 Hp ........well advantage Lexus. Kia......only driver side window auto.........RX300 Full Auto Power four windows and sunroof.....advantage Lexus.
Kia, driver side only power seat...............Rx300 ....dual power front seats...(with two driver memory for driver) ...advantage Lexus.
Kia..styled steel wheels.......RX300 Aluminum wheels(chrome optional).....advantage Lexus.
Kia.........when your friends see it..." You bought a Kia....ha,ha,ha,ha,ha. RX300....when your friends see it...." Oh My you can afford a Lexus"..............advantage Lexus.

So when it all adds up......Let the other auto makers make rip offs of a toyota/lexus..........cause that is all they will be cheap imitations.......


Ha.ha.ha.ha.ha.ha.......

Oh yeah....2002 Rx300 Indigo Ink Pearl, 18 inch Deep Chrome Zeneti wheels.....making the girlies heads whirl............

Ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha..........!

And last week some 30ish woman in her Kia was sitting next to me at a stop light and she turned, looked, I grinned, she frowned , I laughed all the way home.

My Mexican friends also told me that although the Mexican girls have literally no idea what a Hyundai (we actually sell one here, Atos), Kia or Lexus is, the girls prefer the BACKSEAT luxury of a Lexus.
