Yea, they are now. But when KIA first started up they were copying everyone else's bodies. They did Jags, Mercedes, Fords and others

I don't remember anything of them before like 2000.

Did you guys catch that Kia also owns parts of Hyundai? I'm not even sure how that works...I'm glad I'm not an accountant!

Yes, back in the day, you could look at a car or truck from 100 yds away and know what make it was. No mistaking whether it was a FORD or another brand.

This must be why everyone is putting logos on their cars the size of my torso...compensating for the lack of design differences.

I'll try to remember that, but hopefully it'll be a while before she needs tires again.
