@ James... Your are an idiot. Benz is not starting to rip Hyundai designs (same as Kia), just take a new CLS concept and compare it to a Sonota(spelling?)... Kia is clearly taking from Aston here.
Of course the front looks like the one-77, KIA announced when they revealed the car that the front had cues from the aston
Those who say they cant see any hint of One-77, take another look...the front air intakes reach up and intersect with the front lights, just like a one-77. Its one of the defining aspects of the one-77s front, so you cant blame anyone for seeing a similarity. The front of a citroen gt does a similar thing too. (The rest of the car is completely different though)
Mercedes Benz needs to start a lawsuit this is Definitely stealing of there design
I see the new Fujitsu fan when I look at the wheels. Kia should stop copying fan manufacturers.
Quit saying you see other cars in this. It's just a shitty (well, it is somewhat promising) rendition by Kia.
I saw this car at a concept show in Paris and one of the people at the stand said that the car cost about 1.5 million dollars to build considering its a one off
I feel like of anything, this car is based so much on the Citroen gt concept.. Am I really the only one who sees this?
@Dylan your kidding yourself if you don't see One-77 in the front Facia at least. You have no eye for design, and no sense of propriety.
technology is getting annoying...pieces of glass with a shiny film aka mirrors work great...everything being turned into cameras with park assist and lane departure alerts and all the other crap just adds to the price and creates lazy drivers
@ David no considering this concept has been out for over a year now... no they did not
Does anyone else think they took the front styling off of the genesis coupe the guy made look like a Austin Martin ?if you don't know what I'm talking about go to Hyundai genesis coupe.
They should put the front end styling of the optima on a cheaper genesis coupe
I think they have the dimensions down, but need to work out the details.
I think this thing looks amazing, only part I don't like is the rear, they didn't put to much work into it
No denying it, it's a stunning looking car and a complete transformation in design by the ever improving Kia brand. Just the front Grille is a bit of a put off but all else, superb!
Looks absolutely incredible, probably way too similar to the rolls Royce ghost though
The headlights on this just remind me too much of the Kia Soul, which I think is atrocious. They need to deviate this from the rest of their lineup in order to turn heads.

Performance version with 200 hp? Yeah, that's super awesome!
I'm all for more RWD options from lower priced auto makers, but if they want to build a competitor for the mx5 or brz/frs using genesis underpinnings they are going to have to do something about the curb weight. Genesis coupe 2.0t is chunky(3300lbs)
Well good for them, I'm just not a fan of the hot hatch segment of vehicles. The sports car would be more appealing.
Yeah Brandon that's exactly what he's saying stop being a keyboard warrior for a couple minutes
It's looking like an Asian One-77. That doesn't mean it's ugly. I like it more than the Aston.
Andrew, take a chillaxative... It's a COMMENT about a CONCEPT car. How can you bother to give a f***?
you must be absolutely blind to not see the resemblance of the one-77 in the front facia.
Idk why anyone would compare this to a one-77 the difference would be 600+ hp and about $1.6M the looks aren't even close and a one-77 shouldn't even be thought of when looking at this
Me too. I think the head lights look similar, but besides that totally different.
I'm not disagreeing, but when did they admit to ripping off other companies in a commercial?
It really is a complete rip off though! That alone turns me off from it. Come up with your own ideas Kia! Everything you put out has already been done. You basically admit it in your commercials.
The whole car is a complete One-77 rip-off... it's not bad looking, though.
@jordan. KIA has already changed there image drastically, and if u think they can't of fast then indent know about there very successful racing program with the koup, optima and Rio, the forte being the most successful by claiming the championship there first year fielding the car
Although the fast part has yet to be seen, and honestly, and I know I'm gonna get crap for saying it, but I'm doubting KIAs ability to pull this off and change their image, but I won't complain if they do
Is this technically a hatch? The article says sports car, but that's a long line leading from the window to the trunk.
This kia gt is a sexy saloon ! Cant wait to see the coupe ! But you wont get me out of my nissan s13 !
KIAs resale ain't bad at all, our 2011 koup is still valued around 16k and my girls been in 2 accident 1st cost 8955$ to repair and the second was 7k to repair.. I word call that good resale
Kent your an idiot, this is a concept model. KIA is far from junk now go learn a thing or 2 about a company before bad mouthing about what ya don't know
This car has been in the works for more than a few years. Not sure why they said unveiled last year....
I agree with everyone, Kia and Hyundai both have made great cars the past two years, people say they suck, but they are better deals, with better reliability
Agreed with all the previous. I never really liked Kia before but their designs are pretty cool now. It'd be even cooler to see a rear wheel drive sports car from them.
Precisely! I'm really impressed with Kia. And the new Optima is astonishing. I would consider a nice RWD coupe as a nice fun DD.
They've spent the last three years establishing a distinct design language, and the Optima is a fantastic car for the money. They're a company to watch.
Damn Colby never thought I'd hear u say something good about KIA.. but yes they need an actual performance car, the koup and optima have been race proven and the koup has been doing extremely well in its series, they just need to take what they learned and put it to use, both a nice rwd halo car and a nice little rwd coupe that's not based off the genesis
Yes, Kia desperately needs a Halo car. Some people may see it as a joke, but I believe if they play their cards right and make this thing look and perform decently, that they may have a successful competitor. With their resources, it's not impossible
What Kia need to do is build a cheap small front engines rear wheel drive 4 door coupe, that is so good that people feel compelled to buy it over its rivals. Only then will its brand image be improved.
