Backing him up are about 4000+ Hyundai-Kia R&D engineers worldwide. Worldwide network in North & South America, Europe, Middle East, Russia, Asia, etc. giving feedback, etc. Survey companies, web-based technician 24-7 training, etc. In Malaysia people don't see all this and just assume Kia is some backyard company.

I hope there was some budget left over for drivetrain development , Chassis development and R&D etc. Dont want it to be like proton ..... class leading handling but the other aspect of the car lacking. You will notice now days very hard to find a car which good in every aspect. For example Vios has a good drivetrain but the design is somewhat lacking.

OK lah, sharp but not too agressive styling. But the attractive Kia Cee'd looks more original in styling I think.. Front headlamps look a bit like Honda Civic’s.

Just look those UiTM students and Proton's R&D studio. The downside is, there is 'invisible' hand who 'kacau' the design. you know what I mean. The people who don't know design but have the power.
