Kia Cerato Koup - Shock Horror!

http://images.drive.com.au/drive_ima...to_3_l_700.jpg

Have I gone totally insane, or have Kia made a car that a) doesn't make me want to vomit profusely all over the place and b) actually might like to have (not buy, just have).

For years we've suffered with the Korean Insect Assembly's (I think that's what Kia stands for), poorly made crud on the road. Why the hell they'd take pride in their car of that name was totally beyond me.

Is this the car that says that they may have made it as a legitimate car company?

They're one of the top car companies now. Ironically taking some of the same business ideas as their Japanese counterparts.

Done some good business over the past few months with the scrappage scheme.

I quite like the Cee'd

If only they had a decent motorsport portfolio and a couple of hot hatches and I'd be seriously tempted.

Wow, if it holds together as good as it looks, I think they have a winner.

This is what I think Attachment 2421

Looks like an Integra.

For years KIA cars have been second only to Nissans to be the car that is ahead of you going at a stupidly slow speed.

Well , at least Korean cars now look like Japanese cars of today rather than Japanese cars of 10 years ago.
