[Doppelgänger]

Welcome back. Look at ANY KIA or Hyundai and you'll see every other popular car in the styling...it's nothing new.

Yes it does. And as for ripping off... R&D's for every manufacture have been doing that forever:2cents:

[Starrfire]

except the kia is actually uglier in person, the front end is almost perfectly flat.

[J-ROCK]

they both look good but id drive the civic over the kia

[5thgcelica]

i honestly wonder if car companies sell designs to each other sometimes..

i realized the other day at the shop while working a kia sedona is the same freaking thing as a honda odyssey

[tjmhillz]

ill drive the kia over the civic. wont have to worry bout it gettin stolen lol..

[J-ROCK]

^ if there isnt a patent then the company can use the same design with out problems

Key difference: The Kia actually has torque.

really:ninja: lol

Actually I'm just being a dick. But yes, the Kia has more torque. And in my opinion (and the opinion of quite a few other IA members), looks much better.

This is OLD ass news... The car has been out for a WHILE. Just goes to show how much the average Civic/Integra owner actually knows about the auto world outside of HondaTuning.

dam koreans.............:ninja:

[claybird]

i like the koup better

You can suck it, I know a good bit about the world outside of honda, but you don't really see too many boosted Kias drivin around....I'm not really interested in mommy cars.:2up:

You don't seem to be interested in cars worth owning.

Defensive much? I don't think he was implicating you specifically.

[Double_0_Rusty]

I am actually about to trade my truck for a Koup 6mt

[Genji-Sama]

^^^ I've seen some of the Koups. They look really funny to me if they're not in orange or red, but when they're the right color, and lowered quite the sight!

[Genji-Sama]

Defensive much? I don't think he was implicating you specifically.

Maybe idk, he did however post that comment in the thread i started saying, "shows how much the average civic/integra owner knows outsided of honda" and did specifically mention the model of car i own, if he had have said honda, maybe. Idk, just to be safe, i retract my defensive comment.

[Elbow]

The KIA looks 20x better so...

[XanRules]

Says the Honda owner! :lmfao:

Indeed. Kia's doing big things right now, same with Hyundai.

[alpine_aw11]

You're just mad the Kia looks way better.

[2turbo4u]

which one come with a 10yr 100k waranty?

lol.. Glad someone else caught that.

[MINI]

UHHH WHAT? I want to know who Kia has been stealing styling from because no one have cars as ugly as theirs.


But stilll I <3 Kia and their torque

Apparently we have two different opinions of mommy cars. IMO, a mommy car has four doors and is not commonly seen on the tuning scene. I drive an integra hatch and they're pretty much everywhere so..:taun:

[Double_0_Rusty]

you cant tell me this doesnt look good......

[Elbow]

KIA also has a new program this year.

I have been defending Kia since their 05 line up. Anything after that has pretty good quality. Not to mention the Koupe has better torque/hp than a Civic EX. The Koup platform has already proven to be reliable on boost and would easily compete with a boosted SI.

[Franco Tirador]

i think sometimes they do sell designs to each other but at times i think they copy them, not exact clones they have to switch it up a bit, that Hundai genesis sedan kinda looks like a benz, i still dont trust Korean engines, they have stepped their game way up, but i still dont trust them, and they look cheap inside....
