Yes, but the video wasn't a case of a couple seeing a top-level model on a TV advertisement and then complaining the base model they purchased wasn't like the vehicle shown on TV.

They went to a dealership, got a brochure which outlined which features came with which trims, ordered the trim they wanted, and didn't receive what was advertised in the brochure.

If you look at the video, the brochure clearly states that the LED Light Bar Taillights are available on the mid-level trim with the V6 engine and the top-level trim.

However, if you look at the brochure available online today, Kia has removed that feature altogether.

My guess is that feature is not available in Canada (it still appears on the SX and SXL trims in the US brochure) and it was simply a mistake, but how Kia handled it was to say, "Oh, too bad you didn't get what we advertised. We reserve the right to say fuck you!" instead of owning up to it being a mistake.
