Who would have thought Kia would make better looking cars than Acura.....

Acura and Honda Called and want their front end back, I must say it looks better than the Corolla. If it's as reliable it's a winner in my book.

 

That reminds me of a mix between a civic and a TSX.

 

Well, actually it was the Civic who called about wanting the front end back.

Oh and umm... 3er is on the line right now and it wants the back end back...

These Koreans are amazing, they took two unattractive cars (IMO of course), mixed them together with some tweaks here and there and actually made a good looking car. This is no doubt one of the best looking cars in the segment.

 

The previous gen TSX was a good looking car, the new gen is questionable IMHO. Kia has definitely borrowed a few styling points from Acura/Honda on this car, that's for sure. Nothing original. Sad.

 

definately looks like a TSX!

 

Looks like it may have a Smart Key style entry.

 

how clever of them ... not terribly original, but clever

it's not a bad looking car and so long as it isn't problematic i'm sure it will sell ... it just fits the generic 'car' form

 

The only thing that looks like the Honda Civic on this car - the headlights. That's all. It's a pretty good-looking car if you ask me..

 

A couple new interior pics to add.

 

Interior screams GM. For the price though, really not bad.

 

Figures, the outside looks nice but they manage to mess it up with that hideous interior.

 

WOW .. it seem all car now have navigation as an option now.

But this is a good looking car in my book.

 

GM? Looks-wise, in this shot, yes, but we'll have to wait and see what kind of materials they actually use inside, and how those materials feel. That, of course, will require seeing the car in person.

For example, beautiful, ornate interiors on the surface, like the Buick Enclave, sometimes hide a lot of cheap dime-store plastic underneath, while
toy-car-looking interiors like the Smart-for-Two may look plain on the surface but have DURABLE hardware underneath.

 

It does look better than the current one. However, I had it for a rental and must say that it was a piece of $#!t
