1SICKPICS! WHite RX 300 vs White Kia Sorento (eerily similar)
Well I've had a review on the Sorento and was impressed and surprised. Well my good friends folks, the mother works for Kia, seems they got rid of the blue one and got a white one. We all met at my friends for Labor Day and the 2 SUVs were next to each other. I had to snap pics so everyone here could see the similarites the Hyundai took from the RX.
I mean, its like they took the RX 300 and painted some fender flares and called it a day

that's crazy... I'd never seen the Sorento that way. I agree with NYLexSC. I've always thought those two models look nearly identical. It's not surprising, though. If you're trying to improve your company's image, what better way than to make it look exactly like the pinnacle of automotive quality.

That's a 2005 Sonata. The 2006 isn't out yet.
Hyundai/Kia may like to copy others but one thing for sure is that the 2005 Sonata taillights did NOT copy the 2006 IS taillights. The new Sonata was out in Korea in October 2004.

ALL mass-producing manufacturers have copied something from someone else. Whether it be in the past, present or future. Even Lexus does it.
We all remember this pathetic move.
And then of course there is the Lexus GS vs. the Mercedes-Benz E-Class.
Point is, mostly all of them do it. Some not so obvious, yet some very obvious.
