Well I think that the B8 A4 shots that I've seen thus far look like Audi copied the ugly *** Hyundai Sonata... so I guess now the Koreans have gotten their revenge, by stealing a good design.[:@]

 

ok.. I **** you not...

some of the regulars might remember this.. Remember there was a thread awhile back
that was about wether or not u would buy your car if it had the same performance,
same everything - but w/ a kia badge?

seriously... now its coming true?[&:]

 

I know the answer to that...

NO!

There are some that can get away with making an amazing car from an econo-car company (Honda NSX) but not Kia. Maybe in 100 years when American car companies don't exist anymore, and Porsche owns everything made in the Eastern Hemisphere, but not today!

 

typical, all of those korean companies copy every one else, [:@], i still dont care, id dish out the extra money to say i got a car thats been tested to be fast on the good roads of the autobahn compared to whatever the hell korea has over there.Plus im highly agaist child labor, poor quality, and poor wages to workers. if i were to buy a kia or hyndai its be for my kids as their first car, and that would be only so i can hopefully give a small wage to a hard working korean laborer.

ok i just managed to actually read the whole article, how the hell is it a performance car if its front wheel drive. very few cars can be considered performance if their FWD (i.e. MINI) their saying maybe itll be RWD but are obviously aiming atthe market where we'll have some kid by the car then rice it out and for some of us who do become rich enough to own a R8, try to show off and race us. I think theres just something euro about a euro car and a feeling of envy and crappiness about someone trying to copy a euro car when their not euro. wow i turned this little post into a rant.

 

Not that I'm a KIA fan, but check out the KUE on their website:

http://kia.com/concepts/index.php?sr...p;cmp=concepts

It's AWD and V8

 

And by V8, they mean, is powered by eight squirrels on wheels!

 

oh yea, a kia or a hyundai is totally just as good as an audi or a benz!

 

well I have to give KIA this much - looking at that interior of the KUE - I've often wondered why car companies have not designed touchscreen consoles? Probably not too cost effective - but would grab serious attention.

 

Here's still more on it
