    Default Kia Forte Revealed (Kia Koup Production Version)

    Well guys... this thread had grown a lot so i put up another one. i can successfully say that they ruined the concept. Kia has decided to use the Forte to replace the Spectra

    The front borrow a lot from the Civic Type-R.

    Another Korean maker that 'pirates' the looks of models from more successful manufacturers. It's the pirate captial of the world isn't it? Pirate movies, electronics, videogames, clothing, etc. and automobile designs...

    My hope is that ONE DAY Hyundai & Kia make enough money to hire a designer.

    So they decided to copy TSX instead right down to the color.

    It does look like the TSX.

    The Koup didn't strike me as being a proper successor to the Spectra. This seems to fit much more in line.

    Maybe the Koup will still be developed on day as their sport model?

    and they made cars, shocking as this is, that are 5 times more reliable! Credit to Lexus for building cars that are more reliable, ergonomically designed better, and are more efficient.
