What do y'all think about the new Kia Forte Koup?

[Starrfire]

I personally don't give 2 shits about Hyundai or Kia. They are all junk in my eyes. i've taken shit tons of them apart at the body shop. Production methods are cheap and cheesy. I've known a lot of people who have current date ones like the hyundai Tiburon, which luckily had a big ass warranty b/c he had 3 engines put in it, or the brand new Hyundai Veracruz which my secretary has that won't start sometimes, aka the ignition switch is going out, also the TPS has already failed, and the Kia Sorento's that people I know have. Btw they hate them b/c they have had them for 3 years and all the bugs are showing up. Like all the little pieces of plastic that the coolant run through are rotting, like they crumble in your fingers rotting.

I think Kia/Hyundai are the Rota's of the modern day car world.
Knockoff s15
Knockoff bmw
Knockoff civic
Knockoff XB
Knockoff Rav4

Not many people like imitation when the real thing can be had for pennies more, and in 3 years you will be thanking yourself for not getting a plastic shitwad hyundai/Kia.

so if no one likes knock offs, why do they exists? and if no one likes knock offs in the car world, why do people buy rotas? who gives a fuck if its a knock off.

Because they are poor...

The commercial sort of motivates me. But it only motivates me to go buy an Si, not a Kia Forte Koup. Nah mean?





edit: Okay I lies. It does make me in a small way inside want a Koup, but in the end I know I would never sign for it. I would go buy an Si intead. I've owned two Hondas. Can't screw up perfection.

I wonder if Ferrari Forums have threads about Kias?

just wondering...



p.s
just saw the commercial, looks nice - Must be easy for them to come up with styling. We know their recipe.

I like the Forte Koup. It looks good. Not much power but honestly the Korean car scene is slowly growing. There will be a little bit of aftermarket support for it.

Went shopping around for a new car for my mother in law the other day, and decided to swing by kia to check out the borrego, which actually has a lot of nice features for the price... especially after the $3k kia is taking off right now.



anyway, checked out the forte koup, seemed okay - a couple things i didnt like was the silver portion of the rims are plastic, the brake callipers are painted with a chrome silver paint, and i dont think the intake manifold should be plastic, but those are all things you could change. not to sure how it actually performs though

Borrego is a very good SUV...I've driven them before.....they continue to make better vehicles each generation

And lol, you can get a V-8 in a Kia Borrego with a 6 speed auto but you can't in an Acura. Go Kia!!

they're making a turbo awd model to be released by 2011
