    The Forte, Soul, and Sorento all look great, but I can't get over the grille on this car.

    I get so tired of the "derivative Korean styling" parrots. Kia has hired one of the world's great designers, Peter Schreyer, and is producing fine looking cars. Give your heads a shake and leave the past behind, or least tell me which competitors are making cars that are so much more original and attractive than Kia.

  • SCE to AUX Given this choice - I'd take the Honda Civic Sport Hatchback (CVT). I 'built' mine for $28777.To my eye, the Civic beats the Corolla on looks these days.But for the same money, I can get an Elantra N-Line with 7-speed DCT, 201 HP, and good fuel economy, so I'd rather go for that.
  • Kwik_Shift_Pro4X '19 Frontier Pro 4X. Next to nothing. All oil changes are on schedule. Still on original brakes at 79000 miles. Those are due soon. Estimate $1000 all in.
  • Dr.Nick The cars seem really expensive with tight back seats and Cadillac was on the list of the highest price gouging dealers coming out of COVID. I don’t understand the combination, shouldn’t they be offering deals if they are not selling?
  • Dr.Nick Too bad the Turbo XT isn’t coming. The Outback Turbo is not bad at all, would be a lot of fun in the shorter Forester.
  • Dave M. Looking for a cheap commuter economy car, the base Corolla hybrid all the way. Willing to spend more for the toys I like (power seats, sunroof), I'd wait for the Civic hatchback hybrid. The Civic definitely has a nicer interior IMO.
