Kia The Kopy-Kat...*A RANT*

[Kanard]

um.. They are gonna build a coupe vr. so i guess this thread can stay here..AB.com has some leaked pics of the new KIA FORTE sedan.. and i know its just "technology" but nissan is the main one with it as of now. Kia has a keyfob similar to nissans, and the door handles have buttons on them.. along with push start on the dash..COME ON KIA! WTF? they just take honda and nissans features and put them in a gm like car!lol meaning cool stuff found in a honda/nissan, but driven like a domestic. . All in a kia... cmon now.. do you need to be liked, that bad?!!!! with a civic esque front.. no wonder honda went and face lifted a bit.

why is the last pic a 2009 honda civic?

[Kanard]

i included a pic of the kia from the angle they had, and a civic pic.. for comparo.. lol but im not backin down on kia that they just steal peoples designs and re do them in KIA/Hyundai fashion. They are like the kid n the tv show who steals the classmates ideas, and uses them to show the teacher.. making him/her the teachers pet.. lol while the other kid is like THATS MY IDEA! ..lol

[galanw]

i can only see the first pic... =.="

i dont think nissan was the 1st with the push to start anyway

[Kanard]

i never said they were. i think it was lexus.. but anyways lexus isnt a big family car that everyone drives.. so its more exclusive. But nissan did it and it came out decent. now kia wants to adopt it. Just seems more copy-cat than "we came out at the same time with the new technology" lol.. they always do this though.

did u really think just cuz nissan did it that noone else would follow in the same direction?

[Kanard]

lol yall not seeing my point. lol why did kia have to be next? lol.. I WAS JUSS SAYING THAT HERE THEY GO AGAIN FOLLOWING SOMEONES FOOTSTEPS... instead of standing out! lol thats all .. i guess this is a KIA FORUM! lol not a NISSAN forum.. *was a joke, dont get bent out of shape*

[galanw]

for the budget they have, i really don't think they can be "stand-out" ... lolselling low price cars is their stradegy. don't really think they spend money on new development at all.....

by the way, still can't see the pics.. i guess it's my connection's problem.

lol, you've owned an altima coupe for 1 day and your already on a rant about how other cars are copying yours

btw- this is a general topic

[Stumpjumper]

if certain demographics like certain stylings or features, you try to market your product toward them with those features.

Lots of little red X's in this thread. Kia is a kock-off brand for people with poor credit but still want the hip features. Kia translates to 'Crap' from Korean.

Now this is funny!Nissan & most others copied BMW far as keyless doors & start.I bought my 2006 330i in June of 2005 & had these features.So it's fair game for Kia or anyone else to do the SAME!

doesnt KIA stand for " Killed In Action"
