Hey guys, I've been reading with much interest on your forum on the Kia Forte since last week and am pretty 'hooked' on this car..based on its reviews.
like most of you..I can't wait for the launch, test drive it and seriously consider the Forte to replace my old junk.
hahaha...
anyway, just to share on the interest rate I got from a KIA SA today:
5 years @ 3.25%
7 years @ 3.4%
9 years @ 3.5%
oh.. std rate lu...
no surprise.. if they give out 2.88% i'll be happy..
muahaha

My point is, if it's a good design who cares whether it resembles another brand. Due to Peter Schreyer's previous involvement in Audi, there has been comments that the current Kia design cue imitates many Audi models. For me it's a case of learning from the best, and kudos for Kia's designers for producing good-looking contemporary cars.
Having said that, I'm not convinced that all Kia models can carry the H-grill. The facelifted Ceed looks more laid-back and generic compared to the more sleek and aggressive predecessor model, while the Picanto is an old model which looks totally out of place in the new Kia lineups. Maybe the next Picanto might take some styling cues from the larger brother Venga; in fact maybe Kia should consider marketing the Venga globally rather than limited to Europe. It'd give the supermini segment more competition in particularly the benchmark Jazz, the 2, and the surprisingly-not-so-common i20; plus sweep aside the plain jane Yaris who is in need of a midlife facelift soon.
well said starghazzer~
