skybuy · 03-15-2007, 03:46 PM

i think someone at the KIA design place took a cue from the kappas....

MBVette · 03-15-2007, 04:15 PM

that kia is hideous

ParrotHeadNation · 03-15-2007, 04:21 PM

wow I really like that kia actually

DunWaiting · 03-15-2007, 04:46 PM

Nice Triumph, the kia is ...

DropTop2 · 03-15-2007, 04:46 PM

the kia is nice but alittle to girly. it reminds me of an updated version of the vw cabrio! the mini thing looks to much like a mustang. very boring. but kia is improving dramatically. hopefully that will come to the US.

SKYtime · 03-15-2007, 05:34 PM

I think Dun and Drop hit it right on myself.....

marlboromike · 03-15-2007, 06:48 PM

KIA...UGLY...TRIUMPH C plus

V8 SKY · 03-15-2007, 06:57 PM

I agree..

Kia - Yuck

Triumph - Cool. I am a bit partial to Triumph, though. Had a Spitfire for a few years....

and you see kappa in this......... where??

if any design cues i would say it resembles a convertable Scion TC

maybe you meant the interior??

Kustomkaps · 03-15-2007, 07:33 PM

Follow the link...I think the model is nicer looking than the car is, and just what is the guy behind her taking a photo of???

xmicro_Redline · 03-15-2007, 08:30 PM

KAPPA!?!?!? That little rice burner looks like a KRAPPA.

It does look like a ceramic urinal or korean toilet or something. Can you find a single attractive body line?

CdnSkyGuy · 03-15-2007, 08:47 PM

I thought it was very VW Eon-esque at first glance

marlboromike · 03-15-2007, 10:33 PM

did u notice on the triumph....red wall tires...maybe a comeback? And that does not look like British Racing Green either

**JohnD** · 03-15-2007, 11:48 PM

I like the Triumph. The Red Walls are a nice touch, but I would go with a rim that had more of a wire wheel feel to it than just a flat six spokes. The grille shape is very reminiscent of a TR-6.

As for the Kia, didja notice the distance between the rear of the back seat and the end of the trunk? What is that, about a foot? And they say our trunk is small!

How do you say "fuggly" in Korean?

I'm guessing here, but I think it looks something like this:

Oh John, suntan has been applied for the next run...

skybuy · 03-16-2007, 12:17 PM

i would buy this for my daughter way before the sky. at least she can put her books in the car.

what a bunch of snobs you all are. the sky is cool, but has a lot of serious issues. i know i have one of the first ones.

we only drive my sky when we dont have to go anywhere where we will need to get something. its a good thing i have other cars for real usage.

its great to see these car companies doing something cool.

by the way KIA's QC is pretty good at this point.

feel free to flame on.....

SkyBaby · 03-16-2007, 01:06 PM

Hmmmm... not sure what i think. If you havnt yet, please read the threads started by me and check out my website too..... THANKS...SkyBaby

Skyflare · 03-22-2007, 12:43 AM

The Triumph is not bad looking

, having had a TR6 myself, but would prefer to see a real picture rather than a rendering and would need more detail. I think the Kia looks alot like the Solora, not for me.

Talz · 03-22-2007, 09:13 PM

I really don't like the Kia, I mean it's not the ugliest car ever by any means but the more I look at it the less I like it. The Triumph drawing is interesting but it's just a drawing.
