i saw a Hyundai Ioniq6 this morning was like, damn! They have great performance, great reviews, and great warranties. they're nice on the inside, too.
can't remember ever thinking that about a Tesla
I saw a KIA the other day that I was surprised looked as slick as it did. Decided to look into it and saw a lot of positive reviews from owners. Was refreshing to see, but definitely surprising. The market is definitely changing and evolving. Tesla isn't the only game in town.
exactly. next to every other car company, Tesla looks like it's been standing still for years.
and that's not even considering the toxic association Musk brings...
A couple of years ago KIA hired new designers and changed their logo, they basically turned from being the butt of a joke to one of the hottest car makers around.
I weirdly love their logo.
KN
I didn't know Nine Inch Nails was making cars. It's a big change but I know Trent and Atticus can get it right
Nothing weird about it
Kia poached their designers from Audi of all places.
I have a friend who got a brand new EV6 and LOVES IT. He's the absolute last person I'd expect to love Kias, his previous car was a Lexus SUV. And he loves everything about his EV6 and would buy it again ig. So yeah, the company does seem to be different these days
I have a 2017 ioniq hybrid and I've been happy with it.
I was referring to a 2024 Ioniq6. I saw this and was obsessed all day. This car was hot. I especially liked its backside.
It’s an automotive design trend I’ve seen for 2 decades in the Mercedes CLS and CLA series, and even as far back as the original Infiniti i35 back in the mid-90s. The whole body of the car is just one big arc. I love it. It”s so elegant and sporty.
Not a fan of the Ioniq6 design personally, but I know where you’re coming from; I’m obsessed with the Abarth 500e Scorpionissima in acid green! 🤤
It reminds me of old Porsches. It just looks sporty as hell!
I have a great deal of experience of Porsche’s. I actually hate them. They’re expensive, impossible to maintain, and extraordinarily uncomfortable. I believe these cars are far more enjoyable to drive and own.
I don't doubt that they aren't ideal for everyday commuting. I was talking about how they look.
The new Toyota Prius has a Lambo tint as well. EV's are ditching the weird blocky designs and make it look good
