Copy?

Does anyone see what I see in this new Kia Coupe, particularly the front end?

angie4m · 26th March 2008, 20:48

I see a Ford Mondeo and a Eos or Focus convertible , but guess you see a Civic?

Can see similarities in the bonnet ie the raised middle

HappyMan · 26th March 2008, 21:24

with the lights yes.

Have to say, - Kia are certainly moving on now.
"Er Indoors" had a little Kia Pride about 10 years ago (Bl--dy Pink ).
She loved it and all it needed in the 3 years she kept it, was a new exhaust box, apart from usual services and tyres of course.
I reckon, Honda should be as confident as Kia, by giving a 7 year warranty.

On the paint lol!

I agree JTL. 7 years warranty on the Ceed is quite exceptional and Hyundia aren't that far behind with 5 years on the entire range.

And like Angie says it remind me of the Eos too.

angie4m · 26th March 2008, 21:44

Kia are doing a hot hatch version of the Cee'd, looks rather smart too

Seriously if ever you are bored go an test drive the Ceed - its one of the worst cars I have ever driven.

Took the Nissan Quashqai out as well now that was nice

Give the Koreans another 3-5 years and they will be well up on the Japanese, I reckon.
If they can build a 1/4 mile long ship, with half of it built in a different location, move it and join it together, within a tolerance of 10mm, they will soon get their heads around a well designed, good looking car.

dragonglance · 26th March 2008, 22:45

i guess you can just see it in Honda (as usual

) paving the future where other can only follow and copy

pariah · 27th March 2008, 20:11

Looks similar to an accord:

kenP · 27th March 2008, 21:26

I thought that it looked a bit like the Civic as soon as I saw it on the front of Auto Express.

rallakias · 27th March 2008, 21:40

In Greece, Kia gives 7 years guarantee, Hyundai 10 years, and from January Honda gives 10 years (before it was 7)

Jack The Lad. · 27th March 2008, 22:05

I've flipped the picture horizontally so that it's facing the same way...
