i suspected a Kia luxury sedan wouldnt be original but even with the tarp on it, it appears to have taken styling cues straight off an XF, the grill, the swept back headlights, the tail lights, and other things......just ripped teh styling cues right off lol

what did u expect... for korean car makers to create a stylish, ORIGINAL car? lol, i mean just look at the new genesis... or should i say LS/S-class/5-series frankenstein... dont get me wrong it looks alright, but i mean how hard is it to make a "competing" car that is just a sloppily thrown together car using the better attributes and styling cues from better cars that have already been out for two or three years
