Kia discovered millennials consider the inside of their electric SUV an additional room to live in rather than just a means of transportation.

This isn't what people mean when they complain that they can't afford a place to live

Kia starting price $22,000, MY starting price $36,000. Saved you a click.

In China. You forgot that part. That car the same price in America would slap Tesla across the face.

Not if you are in a good country

Models affected were iirc 2013-2021. 2022 models didnt have the problem, and would make sense 2023 wouldnt have it either.

Can I download one?

Get all the people ready who didn't see the part that the price mentioned is for China, and China only. That will absolutely not be anywhere near that price for the US and Europe.

Maybe an unpopular opinion but modern cars - EVs especially - are ugly as hell. I'll never be able to buy one unless they stop this nonsense. Atleast put regular light on it.

In 35 years on this planet I have never not heard people complain that "modern" cars are ugly. They were ugly in the '90s. They were ugly in the '00s. And they were ugly in the '10s.

Maybe this is an SNL thing where any given person's opinion on when the "golden age" was depends on what year they graduated High School.

Good lord 90s cars were ugly. 00s cars werent so ugly as much as they were very much boring. Everyone saw the Camry's success and copied its milquetoast design.

The Ford MachE looks good in person.
