Do you know your cars?

Witness here the all new 2010 Kia Forte Koup.






Interesting little thing isnt it especially being that it's a Kia.

But instantly when I looked at it I seen 3 different auto makers.

Up top with the whole light set up, top of the fenders and hood all scream Honda Civic.


The front bumper and rims remind me of the Fords in Europe (Mondeo & Focus)


The side rear window...the way the back rear window slopes down.....thats taken straight from the new Audi A5/S5.




Then there is the interior......pretty nice

Then I look closer at the center stack and I see Caddilac.......look at the 2 center vents










Even the rear end reminds me of the A5/S5






But with all hating aside...I do think it is a pretty nice lookin car.

I think Kia has really stepped their game up with this one.

damn kia stepping their shit up....
yup, thats what hyndai did, make cheap ass cars and offer great warraties, and eventually you can afford to step up build quality and model design, hyundais used to be emabrassing to be seen in, and barely making it up hills, now theyre winning car of the year awards. Kia is on the same track.

True shit...they are essentially cousins in the automotive world.

Hyundai owns 38.67% of Kia.

Remember these.........

@L.D.S.; The Genesis looks real sleek sittin next to the Mustanglike that, better than the Tiburon ever could have.

@PhantomOfFunk....I see it all the time myself too....I see it all the time.

@Eunuch.......I remember that slap in the face....and that was a horrible attempt at trying to resemble a Jag or a Mercedes E class.....whichever...it sucked

Nowadays all the carmakers seem to copy shit from each other. Fuck it...

I just took a trip in a nice Audi S8. That shit is nice. My new fav, even though the RS6 is nice too. Fuck a Ferrari, Porsche, or Lamborghini. Those Audis kill em! We got it up to 320km/h on the Autobahn...
