2018 Kia Stinger GT Review | Edmunds

[YEH]

The repeated commentary about the MB-style circular vents is tiresome.

Just about every automaker (including hyper luxury and performance brands) has used circular vents - most noticeably Audi and Mazda (which have used them in a wide variety of models).

And again, the most noticeable thing about the interior (in a not good way) is the steering wheel/airbag cover.

Took an Uber and got a Corolla, noticed they also use a circular vent, guess it’s too benign of a car for folks to comment on its “copying” of that design.

Yeah, I don't think circles were ever patented.... someone missed a big opportunity.

I think the patented review was by Doug DeMuro and the ‘click.’
