I stopped using drugs several years ago, i suggest you do too (joke ;) )......
Nah not sure what you see that i don't see. Beside the quad exhaust hardly anything simular in my eyes.

Seeing a lot of Kia and Hyundai that look a lot like Audi's from a distance. Some guy told me that Audi's old designer now works for them so that's probably why.

Peter shreyer is the current head of design at Kia/Hyundai. Prior to joining Kia/Hyundai, Peter was one of the chief designers at Audi. That is the primary reason why you can see similar aspects in the design.

That makes sense. I was wondering why I was starting to like the looks of Kias!
Profile is darn close too:

That's one thing I hate about those car makers. Blatant copying.

Too bad they didn't copy the drivetrain, RWD only [=(]

Despite the fact that, imo, it looks good. I can't help but wonder if it still has typical Kia quality. I can't imagine the quality is anywhere near that of Audi or the other Germans.

In Canada this Kia is a 50,00 to 70,000 car not including taxes. It is still a KIA,

I see it. Some Kia's and Hyundai's look almost similar to other cars as well. All about the $$$.

Dear Hyundai (Genesis),
Please find your own grill design. This one is taken.

I actually prefer that rear end over the Audi's.

Well. Yes. It doesn't look too bad. But again, quality won't be anywhere as good as in the Audis.

You still get what you pay for so know , assuming you don't mean reliability when you say quality.
