I saw a KIA the other day that I was surprised looked as slick as it did. Decided to look into it and saw a lot of positive reviews from owners. Was refreshing to see, but definitely surprising. The market is definitely changing and evolving. Tesla isn't the only game in town.

exactly. next to every other car company, Tesla looks like it's been standing still for years.

and that's not even considering the toxic association Musk brings...

A couple of years ago KIA hired new designers and changed their logo, they basically turned from being the butt of a joke to one of the hottest car makers around.

I didn't know Nine Inch Nails was making cars. It's a big change but I know Trent and Atticus can get it right

Nothing weird about it

Kia poached their designers from Audi of all places.

I have a friend who got a brand new EV6 and LOVES IT. He's the absolute last person I'd expect to love Kias, his previous car was a Lexus SUV. And he loves everything about his EV6 and would buy it again ig. So yeah, the company does seem to be different these days
