Kia's EV9 is Being Attacked By BMW I4 Owners

Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.

BMW i4 forum members are calling the Kia EV9 ugly.

Takes a large grille to know one, huh?


There's not a lot I can say here since the forum posts speak for themselves. BMW i4 owners and fans who are using our parent company's forums have spent plenty of time posting about the EV9's looks, and few of the comments are favorable.

This is a little like Bowser calling the Balrog ugly. Or something -- go easy, it's been a long day.

Anyway, click on over to the i4 forums to watch the show -- and cackle at the hypocrisy.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

  • Chiefmonkey It's amazing how stingy automakers have gotten with sedans. The lack of engine options, lack of customizability, lack of sedans period... it is absolutely miserable. I want to go back to 2009 and buy a brand new Camry LE V6 or something of that sort.

  • MaintenanceCosts This is incredibly backward. CEO compensation should be such that it is noncontroversial, driven by the board rather than the CEO, and an easy shareholder vote. Corporate efforts at persuasion should be directed at the customers who might buy products and services.
  • Kwik_Shift_Pro4X A dozen Tesla charging stations that cost $43,000 each were destroyed by copper thieves cutting their charging cables to sell for $20 each.
  • Ravenuer So he lays off a bunch of workers and now wants a huge pile of money for himself?
