It does look more modern though. Kia has come a long way from the fragile tin cans they once were.

That's because they're Hyundais now. If they hadn't been bought out they'd still be worse than Mitsubishi.

In college, one of my friends GF had a Kia. We learned a lot about auto repair.

Drive a Hyundai Getz then drive a Kia Cerato. Not even in the same league.

One is a plastic piece of shit that starts falling apart the second it hits the road the other comes with a 7 year full warranty.

The Kia Picanto is built on a modified Getz platform. The Cerato is unrelated.

KIA is the best car brand right now. It's not even particularly close.

Then why did they make an ecu update that disables the engine when the knock sensor detects the bearings are failing?

no fucking idea but some item being fucked up doesn't invalidate the car quality you tard

I know a lot of people who are scratching their heads about the branding decisions companies have made, concerning their logos specifically (across many industries). This push to 'flatten' and simplify. For the most part, you find them taking good, recognizable icons and turning them into ugly junk. If you've got a brand image you want to get away from, a bad legacy I mean, then it's strategic, but that still doesn't account for the aesthetic choices that seem like eye sores to most average people.

This one is simple, they desperately wanted to avoid the terrible KIA reputation and hide it in a new logo.

[ - ] lolxd 4 points 2.4 yearsNov 22, 2022 11:29:03 ago (+4/-0)

KIA still means killed in action. Because those cars are heaps of junk.

Shit car owners kill vehicles, can't blame the manufacturer when you don't maintain your car.

Your point being?

At least my brand of choice doesn't have a TikTok carjack with a USB challenge.

Grats on your well maintained Korean made piece of shit. At least the Japanese Engineers made something the obese niggers in America assembled back in 2014 for me that still runs like the day I bought it.

You can always make shit shine with enough effort.

An engine a year, every 60k miles is fucking abysmal. The only way to acheive that is by purposefully wanting to kill it and then jewing the dealership.

I'm surprised they didn't cancel the warranty before the 2nd engine swap, actually, that fact alone makes me call bullshit on this reddit post. No dealer would spend so much money honoring a warranty when there's clearly abusive driving going on which is an instant warranty killer.

[ - ] 93sr20det 0 points 2.4 yearsNov 23, 2022 12:47:50 ago (+0/-0)

It was dealer maintained…. So maybe it was the dealer jewing Kia

[ - ] Rotteuxx 0 points 2.4 yearsNov 23, 2022 14:02:36 ago (+0/-0)

Afaik dealerships honor the warranty, not Kia.

[ - ] Empire_of_the_Mind 0 points 2.4 yearsNov 22, 2022 13:58:16 ago (+0/-0)

it absolutely did used to mean that and it's still funny. but kia's are a lot better now.

I'm still not jumping to get gook peninsula motor company made crap. But I won't disagree with you, they've improved.

Reminds me of "drive Ford, walk home".

[ - ] dassar 0 points 2.4 yearsNov 22, 2022 18:46:04 ago (+0/-0)

As a kid, before japanese imports took off (80's early 90's) i remember ford had a long running tv/ radio/ paper advertisement 'Have you driven a Ford lately ?/'.
that Became 'Have you driven over (or past) a Ford lately' by holden owners.
The ford owner reply was 'holden just together'

"Fucked On Race Day"

[ - ] lolxd 0 points 2.4 yearsNov 23, 2022 00:54:11 ago (+0/-0)

Fucked Over Rebuilt Dodge, or First On Race Day depending on who you ask.

I'd still sooner buy a Chevy.

"KN" ....hmmm.

[ - ] BlowjaySimpson 4 points 2.4 yearsNov 22, 2022 16:50:39 ago (+4/-0)

Obviously that stands for KILL NIGGERS

[ - ] Backwards 2 points 2.4 yearsNov 22, 2022 12:41:30 ago (+2/-0)

Did they change the logo so the niggers would have a harder time finding them for the easy steal?

[ - ] HelpAcct123 2 points 2.4 yearsNov 22, 2022 12:18:10 ago (+2/-0)

It looks lime the nine inch nails logo when you see it on the cars

[ - ] lord_nougat 2 points 2.4 yearsNov 22, 2022 11:46:29 ago (+2/-0)

I believe that is the Korean character for "crappy junk"

[ - ] NedsHead 0 points 2.4 yearsNov 23, 2022 01:45:31 ago (+0/-0)

For a second I thought it was some Eastern European junk hitting the market, then realised what's going on

[ - ] i_scream_trucks 0 points 2.4 yearsNov 23, 2022 00:19:47 ago (+0/-0)

Looks fine to me.

[ - ] NotAntifa75 0 points 2.4 yearsNov 22, 2022 17:13:04 ago (+0/-0)

KN = Kia Niggers (as in only niggers buy Kias.)

[ - ] AryanPrime -1 points 2.4 yearsNov 22, 2022 18:33:02 ago (+0/-1)

they put the chevron in the logo

this is meant to indicate their willingness to go along with the deep state


look up the symbolism of the chevron

[ - ] Empire_of_the_Mind -1 points 2.4 yearsNov 22, 2022 13:57:23 ago (+0/-1)

Welcome to the western world not being the primary one. This logo works better for all of those people who don't write in the alphabet you do, which is most people in the world.
