they really need to design a special badge if they are going top of the line, kinda like the gensis...

The KIA logo just ruins the car.

Wonder if BMW will sue KIA on design infringement. They look so similar that I, as purchaser, can get easily confused.

I've had my 750i for over a month and I'm bored with it, lol. The 7 series does look good with the m sport package or the Alpina body parts.

If you mean they'll look the same but lack the reliability, then I agree 100%

Am I the only one that fails to see much of a copy? There are similarities but nothing that looks like Kia simply copied the 7ser...

how can you say they are reliable when the new and improved models have not even been around for that long yet?

Should have bought an E38, brah. That way, the time you'd spend being bored with it would have been spent fixing broken things.

I'm most likely getting rid of my car end of this year for either the gran coupe or a panamera. The 7er is a lovely car but I want something that I can whip around the corners and doesn't feel so big.

Honestly, I'd buy one.

The new Optima looks fucking amazing also. Especially the SX's with the LED tail lights. Not too slow either, 274hp out of the 2L turbo!

Styling perhaps, but details like the gear shifter is a blatant copy; from the unique shape to button layout.
