A little history lesson

Speaking of alternative logos/emblems, a good (if not short) read...

Also, the old logo wasn't the most interesting thing in there, but I don't want to spoil it for you guys.

Hmm.. Oh, darn. I was going to post the picture of the old logo here. LOL I guess I won't do that. I don't want to spoil it.

So my thought is: what?!

No. That logo.

And the slogan. "The Power To Surprise". I like that. They don't need to change it. I think "Doubt No More" sounds bad. It just reminds you that Kia used to make cheap cars. Very cheap. I don't find Buick's "That's A Buick?!" to be bad though.

Yeah, not crazy about that old Kia logo. Maybe they can spruce it up for 2018 or something. Something really eye catching is needed for the Stinger. I mean with a name like Stinger and, well, a body like the Stinger, you need good representation.

Since we've been on the topic of logos lately, I think this post needs a few more eyes.

Speaking of history did you know that Ford once tried to buy Kia? I think it was before they were selling cars in the US. I'm not sure. But I did read this once.

This is true. Ford helped Kia bring their car named "Pride" to the U.S. and named it Ford Festiva. They wanted the badges to be a quick fix/easy change and that's why the KIA and Ford badges have such a resemblance - mainly shape...
