Thorin Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Kia Koup New Toyota Corolla OK, OK, so the Kia is only a concept right now, but by god the new Corolla is U-G-L-Y. IMO. Which is, of course, correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustGav Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Yeah, but the toyota looks like a rip off of that Hy-and-dry coupe thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jevansio Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 I wouldn't say this is a new thing though, lets be honest Toyota haven't made a good looking car since... well the MkIV Supra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Garfy Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 I wouldn't say this is a new thing though, lets be honest Toyota haven't made a good looking car since... well the MkIV Supra and even that wasn't as good looking as some of its rivals, like the RX7 for example.

PeteA Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 I have a ceed as my company car, and it really is very un-offensive to the eye. as a car its not great, but its also not bad at all. its a car, everything on it works and it goes. its not fast but its not slow. in fact ive never felt so indifferent towards a car.

tDR Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 The Koreans are getting it right.... they are the new Japanese car makers - just look at the new Hyundai Coupe*: http://bkmania.com/bbs/data/bk_gallery/DSC04227.jpg http://bkmania.com/bbs/data/bk_gallery/1114DAE.JPG http://bkmania.com/bbs/data/bk_gallery/9992.JPG ^^ A bit fussy around the swage line but other than that It's proper wheel drive this time too. Some more info & pics: Base model gets a 2L I4 turbo engine at 223hp. Higher spec gets a 3.8L V6 at 306hp.

mustang Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 WOW, That looks great. I never thought I'd say that about a Hyundai Coupe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilicos Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 In the first pics of the Coupe I thought is was two Aston Martin AMV8's back to back!!! Then I got a hint of Lexus and BMW in some other pics. The new Corolla and Kia both look like Hondas (Accord and Civic respectively) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 That Corolla design has been out for years. That KIA does look cool tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorin Posted December 30, 2008 Author Share Posted December 30, 2008 That Corolla design has been out for years. Ah, you'd think that wouldn't you, but no it is in fact apparently the all new 2009 model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Its the US model (which has been out for a while) with a slightly revised front end, and I agree its dull as ditch water the Corollas typically have been - I thought they ditched the Corolla name for the Auris over here anyway? They should just bring out the Scion TC, that's a cool car. (looking at it through budget-car specs on) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 That hyundai coupe looks great. Until you get to that bit above the door handle I can only surmise the front half was drawn on one sheet of A4 and the back half drawn on another, and they didn't line them up properly afterwards. Personally I think the whole car is ruined by it -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
