It has huge rims and it's low, but other than that it doesn't look too appealing. I've never been a kia fan.

I hate the hellaflush and VIP look. Kias are no exception.

korean cars have been bumping up their design and tech, I'd like to see more international track involvement.

Looks clean, I have respect for all cultures of tuned/modded cars. That Kia is not VIP, and if it did follow the VIP style path, i don't think it would look good actually.
Regardless how good the car looks, this still doesn't change my views of Kia. I believe only a small population of people will feel drawn to it. Which could lead to a movement..but as of now, that is not a revolution of style.

It's not a revolution at all, it's the same thing happening again, just with different brands.
Kia and Hyundai have another generation or two of production cycles before everyone forget their early crap cars, get dissuaded by bigger brands, and bring out hugely impressive cars so even the crabbiest naysayers have to admit they're amazing cars. Right now, for those that are blinded by emotion and illogical baggage, Kia and Hyundai already make great cars. As for the VIP style; beauty is in the eye of the beholder. No doubt that owner is thrilled, so kudos to them.

i don't care for it. also, i hate the tag line on that site. "form > function" is the dumbest thing i've ever heard. it's like some of the guys on a civic forum that are so determined to be "slammed" that even after they BREAK THEIR OIL PANS BY HITTING THINGS, they refuse to raise the ride height of their cars.

I really like the rear end, it's like an Audi but better somehow.
The side is actually very nice too. Not digging the front, grille has an ugly shape imo. |
