[@DIY-Mechanic]

I own a 4.9 meter length car, and i don't have any blind spots on my sides. the reason people have blind spots it's because they adjusting their mirrors to show their cars, that way they're wasting mirror-space that can be used to show the surrounding lanes. It's also a big mistake to think that automakers are so high-tech today, but the engineering have such a primitive lack as "not showing all the view i need in the side mirrors". The reason Kia added this camera feature it's because, time after time, automakers have to correct drivers with their stupidity, and help them make less and less thinking and acting. (That's funny when thinking about that, they added DRL lights instead of just making the headlight to work all the time).

Honda has stopped making those because simple blind spot lights on the side mirror are easier to use.

[@grantsoth4460]

I have owned one of these myself for a year and a half now. Same color. Luxury trim. If ANYONE has the chance to buy one, go for it! Especially a 2019 model with lower mileage. Around 25k right now. It’s worth every penny. If you are anything like me, who appreciates a car that must satisfy luxury+power+rarity/uniqueness, it’s hard to get any better than this. The first year I’ve had this car I lived in Washington DC and I cannot express the amount of attention and compliments it has received. Fast forward to now and I’ve since moved to Europe (I’m in the military) and shipped the car with me, I expected it to blend in better amongst the European car enthusiasts but it turns heads EVERYWHERE I go. Going out on an evening/dusk drive when those stacked LED daytime running lights are lit up is such an experience. It has such a presence. I still can’t believe Kia doesn’t get credit for this build let alone they still don’t make it in the US.

[@MiniVegas420Yo]

@@elusivellama It's closer to a G90 than a Stinger, both from a platform perspective, it's platform is shared with the G80/90 and splits them in size, closer to the G90. The G70/Stinger sit on a pretty heavily modified version of that platform since they don't need room for a V8. The platform will also be the basis for their first round of SUV's as well, sitting above the Palisade/Telluride, not in size, but in being rear drive based, a longitudinal engine placement, a bit more lux, and with more power.

why don't you go design a car that would score 10 out of 10 on all the categories.

[@jonathansefcik473]

It would be impossible with the current technology. For a car to get a perfect 100 Doug score, it would need to look amazing to Doug, have a 0-60 time under 3 seconds, handle like a Lamborghini Huracan, be insanely fun to drive, be the coolest thing on the road, have absolutely groundbreaking technology and features, Rolls Royce quality with Honda reliability, as practical as a minivan, and have unparalleled bang for your buck and resale value. No car in the next hundred years will even come close to that type of driving and ownership experience.

[@tenzinsmith]

Because many of the categories (especially when comparing the weekend to the daily ones) are inherently contradictory. By making the car look better or go faster, you limit its cargo space and fuel economy. By producing limited amounts (driving up the “cool factor”) and using high- end materials, you lose out in reliability and value. This goes on and on; you can’t have it all. And I’m actually glad you can’t, or else there would be literally one car on the road haha.

Then add to that their reliability scores, the lack of car issues, their amazing car warranty, and you have something truly special. Kia is changing the car industry. Some manufacturers are getting out of certain car markets (like ford not making sedans anymore)and they have Kia to thank (blame) because of their success.

Well, the fact that it is a Kia is kinda a problem for people with this kind of money -- and I'm not talking about its badge.

The K900 strikes me as a properly good car that lacks a market in the US. It's pointed at old conservative people (conservative meaning their tastes, not their politics), but those people are the least inclined to buy Korean because their conservatism steers them to established luxury brands. Turn the K900 into a sportback with funkier styling and aim it at people 20 years younger (who are willing to try Hyundai/Kia out, if they haven't already in their lives), and this could be a genuine hit here, like a Korean 6-series Gran Coupe.
