Has anyone made the same connection as I have???
2005 Kia Rio 2006 Ford Fiesta (Photoshopped front onto my car) 2005 Ford Fiesta They do look very similar to me, The Kia looking more like the Facelifted Fez than the current one (and more to my distaste, fueling the popular idea by some of you that the new Fez looks Korean!). Funny though, is that the 90's Kia Rio was rebadged in Oz as our Ford Festiva, and now they bring out a Rio that looks like a Fiesta. Coincidence? I dont know. But on the road coming toward you from afar warrants another look to make sure its not a Fez. The back looks entirely different however its just the front that shares a bit of a likeness. IMHO, the new Kia Rio looks OK. What do you think? |

Have you seen it on the street? Both two COMPLETELY Different cars....
If anything, i think the Clio, Fiesta and Swift look-a-like

Also, take note of the mirrors, the shape of the headlights, and the flared wheel arches. Theres no way that a swift looks more like a Fiesta than that Kia! |

Thanks, but I think I'll be hanging around in our makeshift office for a while. I might even look at getting another office job outside of hospitality. Thanks anyway. Tell Katie i said hi.
