Kia is the new HONDA?

[Ran]

I agree that it looks nicer, but imho kia=hyundai and hyundai=****. I second everyone else who have said "it's still a kia."

You would be the current generation who said the same thing about Toyota and Honda back in the day. Hyundai has come a long way since their first line-up in the states. I used to look down on Hyundai, but not anymore. I think the new Tiburon and Genesis models will really help bring them to new light in a lot of degrading people's perspectives.

I can't recall anyone talking badly about Honda or Toyota "Back in the day". In fact I remember my parents talking about how reliable they were. Honda > Hyundai no matter how far Hyundai may have come. I still remember when Hyundai was crap back in the 80s and how unreliable they were. When you can show me a Hyundai that has been taken care of, has good power and handling, and has over 300,000 miles on the odometer, then I may be able to admit that Hyundai has come as far as Honda and Toyota (granted Toyota isn't so hot in the power dept). I have looked at their new models in person, and they do look nice. Interior comfort and exterior styling only go so far though. I have to see stable handling, good suspension, and reliability before I'd consider owning one.
