The Koreans Are Here To Stay

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OMG...these optima & sportage is soo wicked....the looks is enough to sway u towards a Korean car...These ex-audi designer sure knows how to design a mouth watering/salivating induced cars

the look of Kia K5 is very nice...

Kia K5 - Sporty and Solid look, similar to Honda Accord
Sonata - Elegance and Classy feeling

but the dashboard design of K5 is bit in-organised and old fashion to me... i still like the fancy dashboard of Sonata YF with navigator like the US or Korea version... too bad we do not get that by Hyundai Sime Darby...

anyway, hopefully we have Kia K5 and new Avante and Accent (Verna) coming coming here next year...

in few years time, we would see all the beutiful Korean cars flooding our roads ..

Wow! this is nice.

Good move by Koreans in their world domination. Now we will see what T&H in counter action?
Now tat i open my eye to Hyundai and Kia, i do see many Getz and Matrix on the road. Not sure of that is a good thing or bad thing though... as those wasn't such a great car.

Anyway- am sure will see many Forte on the road- with their "Audi" look.

One thing- which could be better is the front grill- sort of like put me off. It sort of bring down the over all look for the great car. The same "Identity" grill in the Forte and K5... don't look too nice.

Wow! I'm SOLD!

if take out the KIA logo ...... & let people guest !!! i think many will say, it is german car or maybe its audi ..

ya the back looks like new audi a4.
if the front light come with daylight driving led that superb man.....
i want,bring it as soon as possible.i buy at RM 115k for 2.0.

After viewing sportage, the more i view, the more i like it, it's overall a more perfect design car than their big brother, sorento.. Sorento sill somehow "miss" some element which i can't explain.. maybe the lansi and garangness.

looking at the 2nd sportage behind the 1st one, it's like tiger coming and wanna eat you.. damn garang feeling..

If they rebadge them under Naza, sure minus RM10k in selling price. Thanks informer, the pics are great. Photos taken by amateur sometimes look more realistic than those artistic ones taken by professional photographer. Whoa!! Very nice indeed. Both Hyundai/Kia would make great pairs on our roads.

Only in US - June 2010 Auto Sales...

HYUNDAI-KIA +28%
White-hot Hyundai doubled the industry average increase for June, gobbling up more market share in the process. The Koreans' 28% gain exactly matched their percent increase last month, so there's no summer slowdown here.

Hyundai +35%
Big jumps for the new Sonata (+49%) and the new Tucson (+207%) were perhaps to be expected, but why should the Elantra more than double? Perhaps it's stealing sales from the Accent, which fell by 43%.

Kia +19%
It's boom and bust for Kia. The new Sorento, at better than four times last year sales, is definitely boom. So too, is the Sedona (+85%) and, inexplicably, the Borrego (+332%). On the bust side, we have the Sportage (-77% ahead of a redesign) and, flat busted, the Rondo, with only 196 sold.
