I dunno... I don't get it... I "could" do it, but... I like functional better. I'd rather Photoshopchop or something. I've thought about a stanced Kia Rondo, but would that go over well? Nah... probably would get flamed... Yet this Kia is ok. :\

The reason I say this is the sickest Kia is because this is a car nobody would ever think of modding, yet alone stancing it like he did

Kia sure has come a long way... I actually like the front styling of the latest Optimas.

Kia has come a long way, but they have not come far enough to command the pricetag they think their cars can.
