I hate these things

So much. There are several reasons why I'm not considering buying a Kia, but this is the biggest one right here. Is there anyone who actually likes the giant anthropomorphic hip-hop hamsters?

I don't know. They're kind of silly and it's certainly a unique approach to selling a car. I wouldn't say that I HATE them, but meh, they don't really do anything for me either.

Thank you! They combine several things I dislike! Rodents, hip hop/baggy clothes/punk kids lifestyle, and cheap Korean cars. Maybe I'm to grumpy and old for my age, or I'm not their target market, but I hate them too.

I don't like them either but I understand their ad value.

I always think the commericals are trying to tell me, "If you want to be like a rodent, buy a Kia."

Judging by Soul sales figures, you are the only person who doesn't like them.

Nibbles ate my picture of the hot chick in the black dress with a black Cadenza.

I guess it's a way around portraying their hip-hop spokespeople as black, white, Asian, Hispanic, or Eskimo.

I like her, too. Thankfully that commercial is hamster-free.

I'm waiting for the Cossack hip-hop spokespeople. Why has this not happened yet.

YES.

If I ever create or sell cars with even the most tenuous connection to the Steppes, it's Cossacks all the way, bitches.

Well they played it when I went to see The World's End for the 4th time (what? I liked it) some mom brought her 8 year old (awesome mom!) and he seemed to enjoy it.

Could be much worse ...

I really don't know what Quiznos was thinking with that one. You had to be familiar with rathergood to even get the reference. Most of rathergood's fan base was made up of stoners; stoners constantly get the munchies; Quiznos is open late...

...actually, I can totally see what Quiznos was thinking.

Maybe you'll like them more now that they're transformed into hipsters.

The Furry demographic is surprisingly large.

Don't google Rule 34 Kia Hamstars.

It is actually a good car. I have a 2012 and love it. It is also super roomy, which is really important being 6 ft 9.

My wife and I have one. Not the damned rodent but the soul. 6-speed stick, lots of room, 33 mpg on average, and a killer warranty for under $15k out the door?

Sure it's as base as can be, but power windows, good AC, a decent stereo, and Bluetooth are about all we want.

woah, they got their shit together now! the car is still hideous, but the commercial is surprising the first time you see it.
