#64 of 76 Re: That'll do it every time... [iluvmysephia1] by boaz47 Mar 06, 2009 (6:25 pm)
Replying to: iluvmysephia1 (Mar 06, 2009 3:00 pm) well I bet there were people that had good luck with a YUGO. But still there is a reason Kia is close to the bottom and has been for years. The posted survey is taken for new car buyers and sent within the first year they bought the car. So why would Hyundai move up the list and Kia not? Does it mean Hyundais improvement means nothing or that Kia's lack of movement doesn't mean anything? When people research buying a car should they ignore what others are saying about the car?   But that is off track. I predict Kia will not be rated better than average in 2010 or 2011 or 2012. In fact they might be in the same position they are today. And I predict all of those cars sitting out in the open will hurt profits for all of the manufacturers through 2012.   Now what do you predict and we can compare.
#65 of 76 No go... by iluvmysephia1 Mar 06, 2009 (6:31 pm)
I don't throw out predictions to people with closed minds. End of discussion.   I will predict that Kia will last throughout these nasty economic times and so will Mitsubishi Motors. Good quality passes the test of time. Replies to this message: boaz47 (Mar 07, 2009 10:58 pm)

Replying to: iluvmysephia1 (Mar 06, 2009 6:31 pm) safe play. Fold when you don't have the cards.
#67 of 76 Well... by iluvmysephia1 Mar 08, 2009 (7:43 am)
it's not folding when you don't have the cards, in Mitsubishi and Kia's case, IMO. Time will have to tell.   But it's better than falling over in your chair backwards firing your 6-shooter wildly off in to space, eh? Replies to this message: boaz47 (Mar 08, 2009 1:52 pm)

Replying to: iluvmysephia1 (Mar 08, 2009 7:43 am) maybe, or making a prediction based on automotive history that we can come back to. Better you fold. You had a bad hand to start with.   I wonder how many others believe Mitsubishi has a bright future?   You were one of the ones that were never going to give up your manual if I remember correctly.   Just wanted you to predict Kia's dependability standing in the industry as reported by JD powers.
#69 of 76 Oh... by iluvmysephia1 Mar 08, 2009 (2:02 pm)

Replying to: iluvmysephia1 (Mar 08, 2009 2:02 pm) I'll save that for next year.
#71 of 76 I'll throw another one in... by iluvmysephia1 Mar 09, 2009 (8:59 am)
I predict that Kia makes a profit again in 2009.
#72 of 76 Don't know... by lemko Mar 09, 2009 (9:03 am)
...what 2009 will be like, but I can tell you 2010 will be an extremely boring new car show season consisting of Toyota, Honda, maybe Nissan, and a smattering of 2nd and 3rd tier imports. I'll be staying home for the first time in 21 years. Replies to this message: bpizzuti (Mar 09, 2009 9:04 am) lemko (Mar 09, 2009 9:38 am) bpizzuti (Mar 09, 2009 9:57 am)

Replying to: lemko (Mar 09, 2009 9:03 am) Hey, don't forget the 2011 Fiesta.   You're just pouting from having to import a Chery Buick. Replies to this message: lemko (Mar 09, 2009 9:38 am) bpizzuti (Mar 09, 2009 9:57 am)
