Kinda like dem "LeMans" Civics we see here, with huge wings that do nothing, pillar gauge clusters to see what time it is, and monster tacs to see how slow our cars rev. And exhausts that wake up the whole neighborhood.

Most of you guys can't laugh or say that that car's a sad imitation, cus' most of your cars are imitations of cars that have real aerodynamic kits, real purposes in big tacs, etc.

Lots of kids will be driving those. I don't see why some will laugh about it. Yes its a kia, but it looks sweet and if you are not going to the track, why would you want a fast car? I mean if you are only going to use it to cruse around its a good looking car.

Why bother when someone else has done the marketing for you? Go with what works. IMO though, it's just another sad example of trying to be something you're not.

Tee hee. Hood Scoop is just for show, imitation gold rims, and imitation spoiler and kit. What more could you ask for for a mere 18 grand.

I can see it now on the news, "Hundreds of hundreds of WRX emblems are being stolen at an alarming rate, and where they are going, no one knows."

for those that think this car is copying the look of another (because it is obviously copying the Subaru)

would you agree or disagree putting on Z3 or M3 fenders, M3 or SL Mirrors, angel eye halo projector headlights, and altezza tail lights is essentially the same thing?

no negativity intended just an honest question.

deezshady,

I agree that its copying the look of another car ...which is why I find it a bit odd how people can rag on that Hyundai. Those M3 fenders are cheap imitations ...why do they call them "Altezza" lights? Cus' they're imitations of Toyota Altezza's.

Let's face it, rice-a-roonies, if you have anything that looks like its doing something, but isn't, you're just as bad. Don't like how people dog on other cars, when they're doing the same exact thing.

I get what you are saying. Also our cars imitate the Opel Astra.

I'm surprised Subaru isn't doing anything about this, I mean soon their WRX could be confused for a pice of crap. I also agree that most of us mod our cars with parts that immitate others but at least we don't do the ENTIRE car and we don't try to do this on a mass scale and try sell it as our own idea. It's ridiculous!
