now i know where i saw that car. It looks just like a holden cruize with a slightly different bumper

no?

marcs_sp20 · 02-06-2010, 08:11 PM

Nah I think its a totally different body, going by the rear pillar on the white one, could be wrong though...

70NYD · 02-06-2010, 11:32 PM

nah sorry marc i was wrong, the body lines are strikingly similar but the platforms are completely different

on another manufacturer that REALLY suprised me lately is KIA. WTF thats right fuking KIA
since getting peter schreyer they really turned their but ugly exterior around to these concepts and coming soon already in production models

Kia KEE

Kia RAY

Kia SPORTAGE 2010

i mean if they keep coming up with stuff like this, and if the kia KEE doesnt loose steering due to its wireless (thats right not drive-by-wire but full wireless) steering wheel input then i might get one. they are all supposed to be under 30K as well..

you just cant beat the focus RS.
beautiful car, WHY cant they bring them here.
love hot hatches

spenaroo · 28-06-2010, 09:59 PM

i so hope those rims arnt still on the car, saw an white a-spec rx7 with those rims, looked sweet. but i just think it clashes with the astina, specially on such a dark colored car

Rupewrecht · 28-06-2010, 10:39 PM

I like my rims

marcs_sp20 · 28-06-2010, 10:47 PM

They look good, but I liked it when it had the MS-01(F's?) on it

Rupewrecht · 29-06-2010, 09:18 AM

Yeah, MS-01Fs. They were ok, but the fat sidewall of the tyres on them killed it for me i think.
