    Wow. That thing looks mean. The gauges are off the wall! I think I just might go Kia. :) btw, the Kia badge on the front needs to be removed. It doesn't flow with the aggressiveness. :D

    it's a kia, i doubt carbon fiber would never make it into the production version. kia's might be good for people looking for a cheap new car, but i would personally never own one.

    People said (and ignorant ones still say) things like that about Hyundai. They have unquestionable products now. Give the parent company time to build up Kia, and it's gonna be a badass company. This is actually based off of the Tiburon platform. It's supposed to be the Tiburon replacement when the Genesis coupe comes out. ;)


    BTW, not calling you ignorant, just trying to let everyone know that these companies are picking up nicely and becoming very respectable auto manufacturers. No slam against you intended. :)

    Absolutely right. Hyundai's are just as reliable as Japanese vehicles. Since Toyota is slumping when it comes to satisfying auto enthusiasts who want sportier cars, this could be the solution. It will create some great competition among the car manufacturers. I love it! :D

    Korean car brands always design their cars to look like other cars in the market.. no imagination at all. Case in point the Sonata tried to look like a benz for a couple of years and now its trying to look like a accord. That's why this car is trying to look like a civic.

    I would have to agree with all you it does look like the civic. But it looks pretty nice! Watch it be front wheel drive that would blow. lol
