I find the instrument cluster on the Magentis is very similar to what we have on our 3's! (the 3 circular units for RPMs, speedometer, warning lights, etc).

Imitation is the greatest form of flattery right?

Magentis commercials remind me of Camry/Lexus doesnt it?

Totally like the 3's! Looks like the Soul has the same gauge cluster too

The Magentis totally has Acura TL lights

Both look great, I am impressed. The Soul is a funky little thing.

the first car reminds me of the Scion XB which i like a lot. I heard that Scion is coming to Canada in 2010. I'm so looking forward for that.

2009/2010 will be interesting as far as cute little boxy cars go.. Scion Xb, Nissan Cube and Kia Soul...

Actually it is http://peerintoasoul.ca/

Anyhow, looks like a cool design but yeah... very XBish.

both cars do look pretty decent, the biggest problem i have with Kia is that all their cars look like cheaper verions of something else. they just copy everyone else's designs and tweek them a bit. guess thats one way to save costs, you dont need a big design team. just get a car magazine and copy what sells. haha.

yeah look at the Magentis, it looks like the Accord :chuckle

^^ You think so?
it reminded me more of a Sonata than an accord.. but I see where you are coming from.
