Can every Kia fit into a dealership showroom?

I don’t want to sound like a fanboy, but damn so many models. The new Stonic was revealed today. Can you think of another maker with more bodystyles?

4. Forte hatch

5. Forte Koup

6. Optima

7. Cadenza

12. Soul

13. Niro

14. Sportage

15. Rondo (Canada)

16. Sorento

17. Sedona

That’s 17 models! SEVENTEEN

Maybe Mercedes can top it with their dozens of convertibles but I’m not sure. Thinking of it, Kia doesn’t have any convertible.

No lie, I could see my garage being a totally Hyundai/Kia one in a few years.

My wife drives a leased Subaru Impreza hatch that we may buy out at the end of the lease. But the Hyundai Kona/Kia Stonic would be legit right in her wheelhouse of what she wants in a vehicle. The Kia Stinger GT is right in my wheelhouse as well.

We shall see...

It has to be BMW with their ‘4-door version of the 2-door version of their 4-door car’ lunacy.

What a bewildering and pointless array of superfluous models. 25 of the damn things.

I don’t like single-make driveways, but I don’t know why. When my wife receives her Niro, we will have a Kia-only driveway.

I get it, it makes you seem like you’re too brand-loyal. Maybe I’d try steering her toward the Kona over the Stonic so that way if I get a Stinger we’d at least not have two Kias haha.

Your average Kia dealer would have to ditch a couple thousand balloons, three banners, and at least two (of five) Wavy-Arm Giant Stick Men to make room. They’re going to be so mad. And their full-page, full-color ads in the newspaper are going to have to be 2 full pages now. Might even have to cut down on the BOGO car deals, too. Gotta pay to play.

Yeah just in my street there’s two Honda-only houses, a Hyundai house, a Dodge house and a VW house.

My good friend’s family (including kids out of the house) currently owns the following...

2015 Ram 1500

2016 Dodge Charger

2012 Chrysler 200

2014 Dodge Journey

2000 Dodge Ram 3500

2013ish Ram 1500

2013ish Ram 1500

And a 2000ish Chevy Suburban (only cause Dodge didn’t build a big enough SUV)

You see, that tells that they are close-minded af. But Chrysler needs those customers (someone who buys a 200 clearly didn’t compare)

I don’t get their undying love for Dodge, I know they get decent deals from a dealership they know, but still, there are better options.
