Seems like the car segment in Europe has finally joined the rest of the world as car sales tank in the move to SUVs. https://www.carscoops.com/2025/12/premium-sedan-sales-are-collapsing-in-europe-but-theres-hope/

Kia kicked off celebrating their 80th year in automotive production with a new exhibition in Kia Vision Square in Yongin, Korea. The celebration looked at where Kia began with their first 3-wheel pickup truck to their 4-door sedans and ended with the reveal of their Vision Meta Turismo Concept car. Executive Vice President Karim Habib had the following to say about the Vision Meta Turismo Concent: “The Vision Meta Turismo embodies Kia’s vision that integrates dynamic mobility and human-centered spaces. It is an expression of Kia’s commitment to continually bring technologically advanced mobility and experiences that engage, stimulate, and inspire.” What are the key features of the Kia Vision Meta Turismo concept car? The Vision Meta Turismo is a modern reinterpretation of three core experiences: Performance driving Immersive driving experience through digital interaction Spaciousness of the lounge space Its exterior reflects the Kia design philosophy 'Opposites United', featuring a futuristic silhouette that blends soft surfaces with geometric elements. Inside, the design enhances human-mobility interaction through digital technology and creates a highly immersive experience for both drivers and passengers, with unique design elements and a spacious layout. A highlight is the Vision Meta Turismo’s steering wheel, which reimagines the next-generation intuitive driving interface. It offers a more immersive driving experience with three digital modes – Speedster, Dreamer, and Gamer – utilizing AR Head-Up Display (HUD) technology to deliver tailored user experiences for different driving environments. The AR HUD integrates smart glass into the vehicle, enabling drivers to view virtual graphics as if they are floating above the road in three dimensions. Kia will unveil full information on the concept in the near future. View full article

Used this site to have it generate me an exterior and interior version of a KIA EV9 with Genesis look. Deep Image https://deepimg.ai/ai-image-generator/ Have to say I really like this look! @Drew Dowdell I could so enjoy this SUV. Am excited for the GV90 to come out next year if we still get it here in the U.S.

Should post them in our AI auto thread.

Which AI Engine did you use to generate the images?

Best Rebadge of a Tesla Ever!

My daughter likes it too and is hoping it is an option in 1 1/2 years when her current Lease is up to replace the Subaru Solterra that she likes but is not willing to hold onto after the lease is up.

This actually does not bother me as I no longer like working on auto's, would rather just have a repair place take care of it or best, hold the dealership accountable.
