    Default LoL. Kia.

    What car does this resemble to you guys?



    I can understand copying idea's but that front end looks too close to the 8th gen civic.

    I was kind of shocked when I looked up the spec's though.
    290hp/289tq turbo 2.0L 4-cylinder
    6 speed manual. Looks like fwd though.

    i think he meant an evo x, since he said 2.0 turbo awd.

    i dont think it looks like anything though.

    it doesnt look bad IMO but the wheels do have to go.

    It shows what the 8th-gen Civic SHOULD look like. Kia's starting to impress me with their styling direction.

    Considering the improved exterior and performance, I'd say it is beating the Honda.

    So what? Ever look at the cars of the 80's, or even the 60's? Everything copied everything else. It's nothing new. The fact that Kia took a popular design and improved upon it is a welcome addition in my book.

    EPIC????? I think someone hangs out in the interwebz too much..........

    Its a KIA, it will be cool for like 6 months and then shit will start to fall off of it. Maybe the second gen of this car will be OK...they will have the bugs worked out by then.

    As far as an "epic" kia???? uummm no.

    And you will suffer from it until you sell it for half the amount you would have gotten from a car built with quality and reliability in mind. Yeah, go ahead and buy a disposable car.
    I'd much rather have an Si, at least then I wouldn't have to deal with a flappy-paddle gearbox, annoying.

    So amusing that these arguments still haunt us...except now Honda is the "Car of Quality" where just two decades before it WAS the "disposable" car...the car people said you bought and drove till it collapsed then bought a new one.

    Doesn't matter who Kia copies. They will never have the book value of a Honda. Kia's depreciate so damn quickly, I wouldn't buy it no matter how cool it looks. I mean I like the new styling approach Kia is doing, but I wouldn't dare look at one twice unless their resale value started to look a little better.

    And yes this topic was already covered. I originally posted this pic & said it looked just like a Civic over a month ago in the thread talking about the new Kia sedan.

    Can't believe people hate Honda (despite whatever reason) so much to say they'd take a Kia over a Honda.

    I owned one Honda 12 years ago and it was old at that time, I put it through hell every day, it was a perfect little car until a Mustang hit me head on doing close to 100mph, I thank that car every day for me being here, it isn't smugness, it's appreciation. My girlfriend's Kia was only a few years old with half the miles of my Honda, it's A/C only worked a few months and it's transmission had to be replaced after it hit about 85k miles, if Kia is the next car of quality, then I think I'll start taking MARTA.

    This reminds me of a hYundai argument from about 2 years ago...

    Close minded people never see the light! Korea is on the rise, and have been owned by hyundai for years, hyundai has bounced back super strong in the last 5 years. Along with Kia, with styling and reliability. And a warranty so much better than any honda, and a hell of a lot cheaper.

    Hondas break, just as much as any other car will break.
