WORLD•CAR PRESENTS: BETCHA DIDN'T KNOW KIA MOTORS EDITION KIA LOGO KIA THE DEEP RED THE OVAL REPRESENTS REPRESENTS PASSION EARTH AND GLOBAL MARKETPLACE KIA'S RECOGNIZABLE LOGO DEBUTED IN 1994, THE COMPANY'S 5OTH ANNIVERSARY AND TWO YEARS AFTER IT BEGAN SALES IN AMERICA. SAVED BY THE STICK-SHIET THREE TEENAGE MISCREANTS IN SEATTLE WERE THWARTED BYA CLUTCH PEDAL WHEN THEY TRIED TO CARJACK A 70-YEAR-OLD WOMAN EARLIER THIS SUMMER. AS THE WOMAN WAS GETTING SOMETHING OUT OF THE TRUNK OF HER KIA SEDAN, THE YOUNG THUGS WAVED A GUN IN HER FACE. DEMANDED HER KEYS, AND HOPPED IN THE CAR. NONE OF THE THREE COULD DRIVE A STICK-SHIFT HOWEVER, AND SO WERE FORCED TO SLINK AWAY KIA-LESS. POLICE ARE ATTEMPTING TO TRACK DOWN THE WOULD-BE BANDITS, WHO ARE PRESUMABLY STILL ON FOOT. TIPSY TWEETING EVERYONE LIKES TO KICK BACK WHEN THEY WATCH THE SUPERBOWL. SO WHY SHOULD JCPENNEY BE ANY DIFFERENT?

KIA: 8 PM - 2 Feb 2014 HEY OJCPENNEY NEED A DESIGNATED DRIVER? KIA IN A KIA A 12-WEEK-OLD TERRIER-SCHNAUZER PUPPY NAMED KIA WAS DISCOVERED AFTER SURVIVING FOR FOUR WEEKS IN AN IMPOUNDED BUICK AT A TOW LOT IN KANSAS CITY IN 2013. KIA IS SUSPECTED TO HAVE SUBSISTED ON LEFTOVER MCDONALD'S, BUT WE BELIEVE HER REALLY COOL NAME PROBABLY PLAYED A PART AS WELL. SHE WAS ADOPTED AND IS HEALTHY AND HAPPY NOW. SOULFUL GIFT IF THE PUPPY STORY DIDN'T GIVE YOU CHILLS. TRY THIS ONE: WHEN JACOB THOMAS WON A SNAZZY NEW KIA SOUL FROM HIS LOCAL FLORIDA DEALERSHIP DURING ITS YEARLY PROMOTION TO ENCOURAGE BLOOD DONATION. THOMAS WOULDN'T EVEN TAKE IT FOR A SPIN. INSTEAD, HE GAVE THE CAR TO A FELLOW FLORIDA ARMY NATIONAL GUARDSMAN WHO WAS RECENTLY DIAGNOSED WITH LEUKEMIA FOR THE SECOND TIME AND WHOSE TRUCK WAS TOO UNRELIABLE TO GET HIM TO CHEMO APPOINTMENTS. MYSTERY MACHINE THIS '80 KIA BONGO IS THE VEHICLE WE WOULD SUGGEST TO FRED, VELMA, DAPHNE, SHAGGY AND SCOOBY OVER THE SHORT-ON-SEATBELTS MYSTERY MACHINE. THE HAMSTERS YOU ARE NOT ALONE IN SERIOUSLY DIGGING THE KIA HAMSTERS. NOT ONLY HAVE THEIR COMMERCIALS RACKED UP TENS OF MILLIONS OF YOUTUBE HITS. THE ONE FEATURING LADY GAGA'S SONG "APPLAUSE" AND THE RODENT TRIO (WHO DON'T HAVE NAMES, IN CASE YOU'RE WONDERING) GETTING FIT WON ALL SORTS OF AWARDS. INCLUDING NIELSEN'S "AUTOMOTIVE AD OF THE YEAR" IN 2013. STUDLY RODENTS CHANNELING JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE - WHAT'S NOT TO LIKE? THE TRUCKERCYCLE THIS 1967 KIA WAS CALLED THE T-2000, BUT WE PREFER TO THINK OF AS THE TRUCKERCYCLE. THIS PARTICULAR MODEL CAME OUT FIVE YEARS AFTER KIA'S FIRST FORAY INTO AUTO MANUFACTURING, AND DESIGN-WISE IT LOOKS LIKE A NATURAL PROGRESSION FROM ITS EARLIER PRODUCTS - BIKES IN 1944, MOTORCYCLES IN 1957. 66 IN JULY 2013, KIA'S U.S. PLANT IN WEST-CENTRAL GEORGIA MANUFACTURED ITS 1 MILLIONTH CAR. THERE'S ALSO A 22-ACRE DESIGN CENTER IN IRVINE, CALIFORNIA. KIA IN KOREA KIA IS BASED IN SEOUL, KOREA'S CAPITAL AND FIFTH-LARGEST CITY, TAXIS ARE COLOR-CODED THERE: GRAY OR WHITE ONES ARE LESS LUXURIOUS AND HAVE LESS-EXPERIENCED DRIVERS, WHILE BLACK CABS ARE NICER AND DRIVEN BY VETERAN CABBIES. BECAUSE OF HOW MUCH RAIN THE CITY GETS - A LOTI - FRUIT IS VERY EXPENSIVE THERE, WITH A WATERMELON COSTING ABOUT $27USD FOR MORE GO TO www.WORLDCAR.COM
