Well they are the cheapest new cars on the market, arent they? Some people are willing to buy the cheapest car just so they can say they have a new car. ---

Just wait 'till these things age. They are now reliable and look good and are cheap. In 10 years time, they will be every HighSchool freshmans first car, or on every street corner with a wing and underglow’s. This _will_ be the Civic of the new generation more so than the actual Civic which looks nearly identical. But I can honestly say, I’m a fan of the looks after seeing it in person, looks like a face lifted Civic. ---

Lets hope that in 10 years the wing and underglow thing is dead. I know the Korean cars get no respect. They were pure shit 20 years ago when they first came over and people cant shake that. But the newer Hyundai’s are good cars and the Kia’s are becoming better all the time. BTW I fixed the pic. ---

That matters a bit to people who are looking for a cheap car to begin with. With th volume that Kia sold ugly cars at, we will see this thing everywhere in the future. And between this car and the Civic, we will see this _shape_ on at every light. ---
