As long as they aren't also responsible for whatever they're calling the rolling grilles they're calling cars now, send it.

Came here to say EXACTLY this.

won kyu is at least korean and he designed the first 4 series without the huge grill... so that's something at least

I'm sure the Stinger had something to do with this guy's willingness to change ships.

If not for the Stinger, it at least bodes well for the luxury performance arm of Kia.

Hope huge grilles don't start flooding KIA and Hyundai's line ups.

You mean those huge lungs or pig nostrils of a front grill?

Have you not seen the new G series Genesis?

 

[robz32]

I have. Then again their design department is separate from Kia/Hyundai.

I am not against huge grills on their own... if they look good... the new bmw grills could look good and people who claim it's not bmw forget that they were very tall before they became smaller.. they weren't as wide but they were pretty large.. it just needs to be more cohesive to the rest of the vehicle.. all that to say... it just depends on how they are implemented..
