Hyundai has impressed me a lot with their development over the past 10 years, so it wouldn't surprise me to see Kia do well as well.
Kia...not bad.. not bad at all

Is it just me or do I see a bit of an IS250 look? (Second to last picture posted above).
As mentioned, "it's still a KIA".

Saw the commercial for this the other day.
Said to myself "damn that's a nice car." Thought it was a new Camry.
Looks nice. I like it.

Same company, different brands
25k entry price is asking a lot for that car though, considering Camry's and accords are starting at the bottom-mid $20k.

People are hating on this just b/c of it's name. There is a lot of biting when it comes to car designs. I'd rather have these car companies take cues from the likes of Audi, BMW, Acura, MB, and the likes, than keep on hashing out ugly garbage that their cars used to look like. They are offering a lot of great standard features, and add-ons that make it pretty competitive to those other cars for thousands more.
Now if you're questioning their quality and reliability for a good reason, then that's another thing. So far I haven't heard anything overly negative about the new Hyundai cars, or new Kia lineup. Time will tell, but I think they are kinda shaking up the industry.
Personally I like it. Makes the "luxury" companies work harder than resting on their laurels.
I do see what dirty is talking about. The back end looks more like the current Hyundai Sonata. Front side profile looks like an Accord.

def matters.
"its still a kia" means that if i wanna sell it, i'm not getting anywhere near the resale value of, say, a honda accord.
especially if they're charging the same as accords and camry's. they should have made this one crazy cheap, then raise the price every year as the reputation rises.

25k is relatively reasonable if you compare that price to the cars in its class.
