:banghead::banghead:

just read it

Kia Rio STi (http://carsguide.news.com.au/news/story_page/0,8269,6729085%255E21825,00.html)

:grinno:

A "slight difference in the acceleration figures" indeed.

On the STi the scoop forces air into the intercooler to feed the turbo, but the Rio's scoop is just there to look cool.
Nonfunctional hoodscoop. :disappoin

that is sooo cool, i want one :uhoh:

I wonder whats next :rolleyes: :banghead: :nono:

O wait... :D

-Wes

good lord that is stupid

who the hell thought of that one?????

i mean come on, my mom's minivan could beat that in a drag race

Nice marketing, Kia! :slap:

ugh
kia needs to die right now

:banghead:

Theres already a few of the ugly fuckers on Sydney's roads. I've blown the doors of two this week :D

If I ever see one, I'm going to hurt the driver and then set that POS on fire....just warning you all

Kia needed to die along time ago.

Kia needed to die along time ago.
yeah, its a shit brand anyways :thumbsdown:

yeah, its a shit brand anyways :thumbsdown:
people though the same thing about Hyundai. They are very well made cars these days, not necessarily high performance, but very good anyways.
The Kia does something Subaru should have done.
Subaru finally build a car that lots of people want, and they gouge everyone with a really high price.
Now, all Kia needs to do is steal some engineering to go with the wing.

:rofl:
Funniest shit ever!!!
Kia = :loser:

Access Denied :( Link no work.
Gimmi the details (pwease!)

you dont wanna know.........

:mad: OMFG!! "its just a coincidence" ?!!

if i was the spokesman for kia id quit my job, i mean cmon, seriously, that is humiliating.

kia's just a biter brand, all it does is try and imitate, i mean, it already tried to imitate mercedes and the SKYLINE!! now the WRX??! pathetic...
aren't they embarrassed to even face the rest of the automotive world?

Who's up for a prayer session to see that the Rio Sport-Pac never sees daylight in NZ?

Then again, nobody over here buys them, in fact the only people who buy Rio's are the Auckland city council for thier parking wardens.... Technically that must make them the only people who buy Kia's, I don't think I've ever seen a 2003+ one before (Without a orange rooflight on top)

"The Sport-Pac adds $3000 to the price of a regular Rio ($14,990 drive away). "

End of story guys. What did you want out of $15k? :rolleyes:

Blindside makes a good point. I think its not the sad performance that gets to me. Its the fact that they made a car to look just like a wrx. stealing somebody's design THAT badly is just awful. Even worse they denied trying to make the rio look like a wrx, flat out denied it.
