I am willing to bet dollars to doughnuts that Kia will overtake Honda and Toyota in sales and popularity in the coming century thanks in part to all of these innovative Kia creations. Kia is currently South Korea's second largest car company, but the little car company that could has the small cars and the creative advertising needed to challenge the big boys of the Asian automotive scene.
Kia's latest small car is a huge hit in America, as was its ad campaign featuring hip-hop hamsters. Kia isn't content to rest on its laurels however. These innovative Kia creations feature more than a few concept cars designed for a far-off future. These concepts, coupled with the company's already award-winning cars and ads, is enough to make me get behind the little Asian car company that could. I am an early adopter when it comes to bandwagons.
