#76 of 1357 I'm assuming the Sorento cupholder is down below by iluvmysephia1 Dec 21, 2003 (11:17 am)
on the transmission bump then. I drive a Sportage, mind you, and the cupholders on the Sportage are right there where the NAV system is on the Sorento shown in the link. That does look sharp and AAMOF I like the entire layout of the Sorento console shown. Very navigatable! =:) I would sure think that the American Amanti would have the NAV system as well.
#77 of 1357 Yep, Cupholders are below by netcam Dec 21, 2003 (12:51 pm)
on the center console behind the trans shifter. The center console is a great design too, IMO. I checked the nav system pic with my Sorento brochure and it should directly replace the existing am/fm/tape/cd unit. I'm definitely going to try and upgrade to it if/when it becomes available over here. Would also not be surprised to see it in the Amanti.   BTW, what is AAMOF?

NAVIGATION SYSTEM   I find it odd that many foreign cars in America do not have Navigation systems available, but come standard in their home country. Only recently have the Japanese manufacturers given the option of DVD-based Navigation systems on their vehicles. It seems only logical that Kia/Hyundai will offer it too!!

Just my opinion, but that Civic looks as dull as ever. They just pulled back the eye brows for a face-lift. Actually I think it looks a little worse.   -juice
#80 of 1357 I agree by alpha01 Dec 22, 2003 (12:23 am)
The Civic was NOT improved by the styling changes this year, I especially don't like the new front bumper.   That said, looks like Toyota is feeling the heat of the Amanti, and giving hints of whats to come... Check out what in my book is a likely candidate for the next Avalon on toyota.com. Click "Vehicles" then go to Future Vehicles and the "Crown Concept" (something like that, anyway).   ~alpha

Crown Concept would never make it in US as a Toyota. It'll probably be a Lexus, IF it ever does come stateside.
#82 of 1357 ok fair enough by alpha01 Dec 22, 2003 (7:21 am)
But what makes you so sure? Why would Toyota put a Lexus concept on their webpage? I dont see any pics of the LF-S on the Toyota site.....   ~alpha
#83 of 1357 alpha01 by rctennis3811 Dec 22, 2003 (9:34 am)
Well, the reasons it would never be a Toyota here is that nobody is willing to pay the price of a luxury car in a car more luxurious and almost equally sporty as the GS as a Toyota!! The Crown Concept (on the Toyota website) is the Crown Concept from the one in Japan. It's probably there to showcase what they can achieve. All the luxurious Toyotas in Japan are here as Lexuses (Aristo=GS, Celsior=LS, Land Cruiser Prado=GX, Land Cruiser 100=LX, Windom=ES, Altezza=IS, Harrier, RX). It probably would make more sense to have the Crown as a Lexus.
#84 of 1357 oh yes! by rctennis3811 Dec 22, 2003 (9:34 am)
and please......continue with the Amanti!

AAMOF stands for "As A Matter Of Fact". Sounds like feelings about the mundane Honda Civic styling are shared by pert-near all of us in the Kia Amanti thread on Edmunds.
