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:

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.

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.

^^^ 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!

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.

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

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:

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.

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....
