mate hyundai owns kia they bought it in 1998 and all KIA engines are made by hyundai.
They are near identicle brands, although the KIA bodywork design is brilliant,
i think hey hired pinanfarina in italy thats why they look really good.


i am partial towards hyundai and kia hey ar really good quality, they have an image problem which is being overcome.
Toyota had an image problem in the 70's as a low quality car.

My first car was a hyundai 90 excel a shit box but i loved it.
then it was mercedes c200 2000 model, then lexus IS300 2007 model, then the economic crisis forced me to downgrade to Honda civic 2008.

Now i drive a Honda CRV 2008 SUV not bad.

I've always struggled to understand these north americans, they make a thread on how much they earn and its enviable, and then they post what they drive it doesn't make sense, most people i know drive no less than e-class or 3-series and they got shitty jobs.

p.s. i think kias come with life-time warrantee

Yeah my sentiments exactly, BMWs, Mercedes etc are what come up in my mind when I think of cars, not really a Lexus. I guess it's the different cultures. But where a Mercedes here is £30k (with some good negotiation skills) and some people make up to £60k per year it's easy to get that kind of car, North American Mercedes may be like $80K which is hard to buy even with the $100K salaries.

60,000 pounds is $115,000 canadian dollars and $110,000 US dollars no way they can afford these cars

WTF!!!!!
here in the UAE they are all cheap as hell.
a brand new Mercedes C class or a BMW 3 series will set you back just $33,000

i bought my lexus IS300 second hand it was only a year old and 20,000km and i only payed $17,000

AbdiWahab, I get mixed feelings with the Tahoe.

Mercedes C class is $39K here but Mercedes is for elderly pensioners.

Golf 7

Cheaper than the Kia Optima,Reliable,German quality for just 19.000 full option

Here in the UK average people drive Vauxhalls Fords Volkswagen Peugeots not so fond of Asian cars like hydrogen points out unless you are one of those greenpeace minded people.

Asian cars.

I know Hyundai owns Kia, but it seems like Hyundai has the edge in quality. Kia is where Hyundai was 5-10 years ago, sooner or later they'll gain respect in the auto market.

AbdiJohnson, this will be your best bet for a midsize sedan

Kias and Hyndia are both teenage hoes cars. It looks gay on a dude.

Get a manly car breh

Meth,

I want the 2015 Maxima

compare any kia to any hyundai and you will get a car that shares 90% of the parts not only the engine but the transmission and electronics, breaks AC are identical.
its the same care , they keep both brands for marketing purposes and they allow the design teams freedom to do the body work.
for example if i want a better looking Hyndai Sonata, i will buy a Kia Optima its the same care just different body.
