"Jap Scrap" was the term used for Toyota, Honda and Nissan (nee Datsun) a generation ago.
Who's crying now?

Someone told me about safety issues with Kias. Like any new company, they need time to develop, and they seem to be doing pretty good. But I would give them some more time.

Their only car that might interest me is a Rio5. Cheap and practical.

A Kia sports coupe would not be practical, imo, and it may not even be cheap.

I looked at Kias, and with all the options added, it was about the same price as Japanese cars.

I think Kias are fine cars, and imo, you could probably do just as well with a Kia.

But their designs didn't really seem exceptional to me, and the price, as I figured it, wasn't as cheap as it first appears. So for me, there was nothing to attract me away from the more established Japanese cars.

I like the car, but why would you name a coupe a Koup? What brilliant marketing executives decided to call the car a Koup. A 2nd year college marketing class would've come up with a better and more marketable name.

Looks like a civic si coupe.

I guess that means they're on a long slow learning curve...

I edited my post, it`s 1974 a bit of a typo.
