Nice copy of our P5

P5 came out in 1999 so Lexus copied it. Both Kias suck ass-body too tall & narrow-buttugly. Sure I'll take an Audi A3 anytime since it costs probably 3 times as much. Gimme. I'll go sell it & get an MSP & MS6 to go with my P5.

It came out in Japan in 99 right??
Didn't come out here til 02.

I would believe what you said only if you were Chinese. Actually almost all products are made in China, but the things you called "copies" are not Chinese company stuff. The label "Made in China" doesn't tell you the stuff are from a Chinese company, it could be an American company or whatever placed an order with the design + a new brand name in China, and Chinese made those. Those companies did that because it could save tons of money on labor cost, and it could make YOU think those "copies" are from Chinese, so everybody thinks Chinese are bad or whatever, and the companies who actually place the orders will be innocent.

Have you been to China lately to look at their Car shows, and of course those little cute consoles that looks exactly like the PS2?

Some example for you.

Was that being sarcastic? That IS actually what happened, according to my sources. And although I think the P5 is a much better looking car, and a Mazda (don't think I'd be proud saying I had a Kia!), the Kia has more HP and torque and will beat us every time. (bang)

and this whole time i thought the guy who designed the p5 left mazda to work for kia and designed the spectra5 for em (boom07)

Aw c'mon dudes. It's got some redeeming qualities, like the...black plastic trim, which just happens to match the black tires really well. (thumb)


i just don't dig it...but that doesn't mean you can't! just personal preference...

and for the record, i really hate the big obnoxious plastic trim...makes the car look even cheaper...but like i said...to each his/her own
 
Forget the Rio and the other fake P5s. Try this one...
