It could do without some of the cladding, but other than that I like it’s looks, it’s weird and cool looking. Throw all the Ferraris you want at me, I’m fireproof.

I just saw one in green for the first time 5 minutes ago and did a double take.

I.... I agree completely. It looks really good

It’s a C4 Cactus for America.

Is trash.

it’s as though they looked at a Jeep Cherokee and said “let’s do that.”

I mean, it’s not offensive like the 2019 Camaro SS, just quirky. Plus bright colors seem to go well with it’s funky styling

The Kona electric on the Other hand...

Aarrgh Kill it with Fire!

That grille makes a big difference, though.

I don’t care, it looks nice. I never said it was good at driving, just looks nice

I am not usually a fan of crossovers, but I quite like the Kona...probably because I love the Citroen Cactus and they look similar.

BUT, the Kona comes with no option for a manual in North America, so, no thanks.

You’re correct.

It’s ok. Looks like a C4 Cactus but not as good. I don’t know. I’d consider it if I wanted a hatch

Personally, I think it would look fine if the front end was just all smooth instead of that fake diamond plate texture or whatever molded into it.

That looks uglier, the grille helps the Kona

eh, it’s a horizontally asymmetric hexagon like over half of the industry is doing.

And yet it stands out more than the Jeep, it looks nicer than the Jeep’s grille does on the Cherokee.

Well of course someone’s gonna think it’s a bad take, otherwise it wouldn’t have been a hot take! :P

Yeah, but I said I just like how it looks.

Unfortunately not enough. They are fine but still unattractive and mostly useless “SUVs”

Yes, the latter is somehow less disturbing.

It is cool because it looks like the old C4 Cactus, which was cool.

I miss the body cladding, but can’t help loving the C4 Cactus.

I low-key want a base Kona in Surf Blue, but I’d rather just have an Elantra GT instead.

I’ll throw a Pinto rear-bumper-first at you for this hot take

I pass a Hyundai dealer when I’m out and about, and they have a few black Konas (presumably base SE models), and they’re hideous. In bright colors and loaded, they’re cool cars.
