Kia k900

[Perez23]

So as I sat on the couch watching the Super Bowl there was a commercial that have me a hell of an idea. Idk how many of you saw it or even heard of the car before (I know I hadn't) but the Kia K900 had me extremely impressed. So I did my photoshop attempt with my juxtaposer app on my phone and here it is! Let me know what you think!

Lol did not know it was $70K!! Nonetheless, it's a good looking car, just not worth it's price.

There was a time when people scoffed at the Japanese building luxury cars. It's just a matter of time before paying nearly 100k for a Korean car is a commonplace occurrence . People were saying the same thing about a lot of manufacturers not too long ago. It's a sweet ride. Too bad they're not aiming at enthusiasts more.

You watch your fucking mouth.

(anyone know the movie reference?)

It's a 70k dollar car in a class of 80k+ luxury cars. If I had the money for a car of this caliber I would go with the Kia. Euro shit is nice, but we all know they have their problems. If people saw this car on the street without any badges I'm sure it would turn some heads and get people talking. As soon as they find out it's a Kia they'll look the other way. It's too bad really, they are a great car, they just need to keep on cranking out decent reliable cars to allow the brand name to break the "oh, it's just a Kia" stigma.

Also, you drive an old fucking Volvo, your argument is invalid.

People like you just piss me off. I've driven a lot of Kia/Hyundai products. They really are decent cars.

silly Kia trying to make nice cars

[MommysLittleMonster]

And for a few thousand dollars more, you can have a Masarati Ghibli.



Dat interior.

The fuck does K900 stand for? Seems like they're just slapping random numbers on.

Its not a good looking car. I'd rather have a Genesis, but I also don't like the new Genesis' design.

Edit: it's based on the Equus, not Genesis

There's been a trend away from real names lately for high-end cars. I don't know why. There's no prestige in naming a $70k car like it's a new kind of electric toothbrush.

However, Kia really has no prestige to draw from -- A company like Lincoln could feasibly make a new Continental, but Kia doesn't have a storied past to draw upon unless they feel like rebooting the Sephia.

K900 sounds like a robotic toy dog. It isn't the first Kia with an alphanumeric "K" name. I remember seeing photos of a Willys Jeep knock-off they made called the K111. Did you know Kia used to make cars for Fords (Festiva) and Mazda, then export them to Japan and America? I only know because I'm Korean LOL. They also made the FWD Lotus Elan after Lotus stopped making them.
