What I don’t like on the rear end is the big light assemblies, including the indicators low on the bumper, something very common on the latest KIA (ΚИ) models

* of course meant “the US - spec ones are expected to”

Just a note, that the base version of the Ioniq 5 will come as standard with a more basic lighting setup.

“which I think is how it works on Euro-spec Minis”

I am pretty sure that in the EU a trailer’s taillight module must include rear lights, brake lights, at least one reverse and one fog light, and a reflector, not in any shape, but in the shape of an equilateral triangle specifically 

In the EU anything above 3,5 tones and 9 seats requires a commercial driving license

The fact they are being called the “Mini Hardtop 2 Door” and the “Mini Hardtop 4 Door” reminds me of that recent article about body styles and doors.

Even though I fully respect Jason Torchinsky as an expert in taillight design, as a European, without actually seen many EU-spec Blazers, I am pretty sure the top part of the taillight is tail- and brake-lights and the bottom part, underneath the reflector is the rear. fog light.

Don’t forget it’s European sibling, the mk1 Skoda Octavia

Yes, Hyundai and Kia latetly have a lot of cars with just taillights/brakelights on the top and everytnhing else, including indicators on the bumper, very weird. Look at the new Kia Forte (USA). A sedan with indicators on the bumper, what?

That’s the articles I love. Very minor details about tailights and indicator and marker lights. Amazing!

The Scion xD was also sold in Europe as the Toyota Urban Cruiser

Helios is Ήλιος (Sun) not Wind

The word Pao (Πάω) means “I go” in Greek

A Lancia Detla I think, but definetely a Lancia

look for EU-Spec C5 Corvettes. Just Rediculus
