Hate to say it, but this is a pretty awesome looking concept from Kia

 

yup, minus the badge and the 4-banger that will go in there ...

 

...and the hokey roof line.

 

I really like some of the new Kia designs.

 

Beat me to it...that roof is hideous and looks like a total blind spot.

 

Too space-age looking for my taste - It's got George Jetson written all over it.

 

Personally, I don't like what I'm seeing here BUT I do agree that many of the designs coming not just from KIA but also from (easy now) Hyundai are lovely.

While I can tell you now I will never own one from either brand, I do find myself checking their cars out on the road and find them, more times than not, quite attractive and appealing. (Just not for me).

My 2-cents.

 

I don't mind the roofline, it's a little tiny hint of Lotus Europa but better. As for the space ageness don't forgetbits a concept so some of that will undoubtably be knocked out of it before any production.

Yes Both Kia and Hyundai have employed some really Talented European designers and are hitting their strides right now.

Seen a few of the new Genesis large luxury sedans from Hyundai around here lately and while the design in some repects is so derivative as to be almost theft it is a pretty impressive looking car for a large luxury barge.

 

+1. Recently good styling, and surprising quality for both those Korean brands. To my eye, though, the concept above is just off the mark by enough to make the profile quite unappealing. Reshape the roof and window lines and it has some real potential.

 

Kia is Hyundai, so you can thank them for the design. This concept has been around for quite a while, and it's not bad but nothing necessarily innovative. Looks like an updated Camaro.

 

Thank you for elucidating me.

 

He just elucidated so you could be illuminated.

 

I own a hyundai equus, cross shopped it with an e class. It's a surprisingly nice car, 430hp, 0-60 under 5sec, and a fridge in the back seat! Add the 100K warranty and 5 years full maintenance (including pick up, loaner and delivery), plus the 30k savings over comparable cars, it was hard to pass up.

Given their history, who here would have thought they'd own a Tata motors car?

I love backing underdogs making a turn around.

 

I don't, any more than my Jeep Wrangler or a Maserati being a Fiat or a Bentley being a Volkswagen.

 

With apologies for the delayed response, I just returned from illuminating - as in lighting up - the streets with my V6S.

What a splendid day for a spirited drive!!!! (Even kicked the back out a few times).

Life is good gentlemen and ladies, life is good!
