The only thing it means is that the car is rwd, relatively balanced and has a fully defeatable traction control system. Just leave the stability control on, it will never do this.

Kia isn’t the same company it once was...in the sense that they actually have compelling offerings now. 10 years ago I’d have never considered them either. Now I’m actively awaiting this car because I plan to buy one, barring any test drive dislikes.

Checking your ego at the door is the only solution

It looks awesome, good fun to drive and I still wouldn’t buy one. Honestly, it isn’t the lack of manual, it is the Kia badge. I already have to explain the cars I drive to other people because they aren’t crossovers. Explaining a $40k+ Kia sedan would be impossible.

I’m so conflicted about this car. I mean look at my name...that’s also part of my business name, the name I use on all forums, what the my license plates say, some people even call me Stinger. Plus I have turbos on everything I own. So I’m looking for a replacement for my wife’s car. This thing checks all the boxes…

I really like the cars and coffee edition

Dont forget broken phones. Probably buys a new phone every 8 hours because the battery wore out.

By Lucky Bastard you mean, skilled driver/engineer who worked up thru the ranks to earn a position driving development cars and providing feedback?

SMART. Those will never need new tires, ever.

He claims to be “thrifty”, but would prefer to sell his car for probably a loss of several thousand dollars instead of buying $800 worth of tires.

I wonder how many “broken” remotes are littered through that house.

Why does this exist.

Now this is a tire going bald.

I’ve always come down on the it dilutes side. It’s like the 2007 GT500 front fascia with curved separation between headlights and grille. Yes it looked good, and yes it was cool because it stood out. Fast forward to 2010 and all of the Mustangs had a curvy front fascia.

Honda’s approach actually makes more sense to me. When a new Honda comes out, and I see it for the first time at the dealership, I’ll think, “Wow, that is cool and new and I should buy one.” By the time this “new” Mustang is available, I’ll see it and think, “Oh, that old thing I saw on Jalopnik several months ago. I…

2 Doors on each too. I hope Hyundai’s lawyers are paying attention.

Well, they’re both red.

Ford shows off their new and updated models way before they go on sale. As opposed to Honda, who doesn’t tell us about most of their cars until they’re already hitting dealers.

And both kinda look like an angry person with extremely small eyes, although even more disproportional on the Mustang.
