I saw a post by Zate saying something to the effect that he was going to pass on the STi and get a Kia. I didn't get the reference until I found a link to this. What in Jebus' name are they thinking? If I see one of these, I'm gonna smear dog shite all over the windows with a piece of its broken spoiler, after I shatter the wing with my tire iron, of course. That's just flat out disgusting.

 

that is awful

 

What kind of power is this making (165hp?)?

 

I think the power is in the 160-165bhp range. I am just dumbfounded at the fact that Kia would do such a thing. I mean, what kind of funked up logic justifies a car manufacturer to blatantly rip off another car manufacturer's exterior design almost completely!? Next thing they'll do is release a wide fender kit and plastic inserts for the engine bay to make it look like you're running an H4 with top mount. Kia has huge amounts of suck. They'd better not bring this POS to America. I'll overturn the f'ing thing if I see one on the street!

 

oh dear god.......

if i am ever so unfortunate as to see one of these rollin about, and i mistake it for an STi, i shall be highly upset. I hope this doesnt become too common...

 

i'd imagine that'd it be ok if KIA was associated in some way with FHI...since the cult following of the wrx and limited make of the sti, many ppl who couldn't get one would get this abortion of a car.....it's lame, but it seems like a good idea IF kia is associated with FHI
