Kia Motors America Emblem Survey

[Merkur720]

Wow... just got a five question survey about emblems and if I have swapped badges for this. Which I have. And then gave options if I preferred this, regular KIA badge, the “e” or no badging at all and why?

Maybe they are listening!

Hmm. Strange... That "K" is not an official Kia emblem. I wonder if it's actually Kia who's asking this question... I mean - it seems out of the ordinary. Imagine they buy the rights to it and start using it?

Don't know -- it came from "Kia Motors America Survey Team" with the subject line being "5 Question Survey from Kia Motors America". I assumed it was regarding a recent service at dealer but it was asking if I had swapped emblems and if so -- which did I swap to. And which do I prefer with no badging being an option too. Interesting timing.

Did it give you any options other than the "K" and "debadge"? Did it mentioned anything about the "E" and "Stinger" emblems?

Options were 1) Kia Badge 2) K Badge 3) E Badge or 4) No badge... It wasn't specific about the model (ie Stinger), but the KIA emblem itself.

Hmm! Very interesting. Personally, I think this is really great news. I mean - I don't know how Kia feels about it - but they must at least be considering doing something better with their badge. I feel the "K" would be great but they'd need to differentiate it more from the Lexus "L". I mean THAT is an ABSOLUTE. We'll never see that badge become an official Kia badge. But something similar, perhaps variation of this one, or the "E". Maybe. I just don't see the "E" making it onto every Kia. It's just not descriptive enough...

Unless... Time to start a new discussion on what I'm thinking. And here it is...
