If you buy base model Kia, you get base model Kia. Spend a little cash and they get A LOT better.

So German infotainment and interior materials, mixed with a German controls and drivetrain doesn’t make it at least half German? Look, I’m not going to call a Saab 9000 Italian, but it is a Lancia Thema in a bigger suit.

I remember when Scion was cool...

They do Audi’s and Beetles now! It’s still on my list of “Crazy things to do when I have a Garage” to build the Charger.
