I really like the Venue. I like the size, the shape, the overall look of it tickle my fancy. Also it might come I. purple!

The problem is the name. Buick Venue just sounds so much more natural. This is a hip car for cool people,  right? It should be like the Kia Little Tiger. Yeah I’d drive that. 

1 it’s sounds like a Buick name. 2 a venue is a place you RENT to do things it just sounds so impersonal. Also if you google Kia Venue this comes up.

My point is Venue is a dumb name, and Kia should change it before the car hits production.

Hey Nissan, this would have been a much better name for the Versa.

... it’s actually a Hyundai. I still think the name is dumb. And it looks better with a Kia grilles

Yeah I realized   I had the make wrong. I think it looks better as a Kia tho. And Venue is still a dumb name for a car.

He Versa also WOULD be a great name for a crossover. Since the whole point of a crossover is that they are supposedly more VERSAtile

Kia is getting the Tusker if that helps with the naming.

Well, here’s the thing. No matter how hard they market this to the youths, the majority of the buyers will be woman over the age of 50.

Can’t wait to see the trim levels: Hall, Niteclub and Ballroom ?

Front should be changed further so it resembles the Telluride.

Mr. Cohen lives there, I hear he’s a  very nice man.

Because it's what always happens. Look at Scion or the Kia Soul.

Well, Proton already claimed Arena, so Kia had to take what they could get. If the alternative was something like K300XT 1.0, I’ll take Venue.

More cars should come in purple

the google thing is a legit concern. I should have to type “chevrolet” before “suburban” to get the car, but I forgive that because the Suburban predates google...and the suburbs...but these days you just can’t do that.

Basically the same car.

No, it does not. But definitely looks better!

That makes me feel some way very strongly, but I can’t exactly identify what way that is. I don’t hate it, not at all! In fact, i kinda prefer it. But there’s something about it that is of-putting, while at the same time looks completely logical and perfectly normal.

Well I only took a few minutes to chop that up... so yeah bits and pieces might be off and so is the symmetry, lol.

And now that I look at it more, it kinda looks like a Fiat 126.

I’m okay with that similarity. The 126 looks like an even smaller Lada Niva.

I think for a quick photochop, you did great! I don’t see any real symmetry issues.

No, it’s something else... maybe the black trim around the projectors, encircled by chrome trim ? Which, i know, is part of the original design...
