Every Kia every person I have ever known has owned has been a piece of crap.

Anecdotal, I know, but Kia equates to a total lack of quality in my mind.

Every KIA i've personally owned turned out great. I put almost 200,000 hard miles on my 96 Sportage over a span of 10 years before I gave it away.

Every car manufacturer has its ups and downs.

Back to the OP, KIA supposedly has a designer that came from AUDI so expect more stylish (or at least more stylish than before) designs from their entire lineup.

god koreans seems to always make cars that look like a bastard love child of every popular car in a certain car segment. looks good, but its nothing original

Agreed! Plz I never want to own one again, not in this lifetime. It's all flashy thats all, 'All that glitters is not gold' was the moral I learned.

New sportage looks good as does new sonata. This is the first time Kia/hyundai have made cars that don't look like they were designed by Stalin and I think it's going to help their sales hugely.
