Kia Unveiles Pro-Ceed's Audi A3 Inspired Arse

Kia has taken off the wraps on the second preview image of the three door Cee’d, dubbed Pro-cee’d, unveiling the tail of the car which has remained quite close to the original concept previewed at the 2006 Paris Show. Judging from this image, we’d say that former Audi designer Peter Schreyer took a rather close look at the 3door A3 when he penned the Pro-cee’d. In any case, Kia’s sporty hatch looks like quite the piece and we believe that its design will draw a lot of attention in the European C-Segment category (VW Golf, Opel Astra, Renault Megane etc).

The new Kia Pro-cee’d three-door hatchback model will make its World Premiere at this year’s Frankfurt International Motor Show on 11 September and will go on sale across Europe in early 2008.

Lots of companies have copied BMW, including Lexus. And Hyundai copying Lexus is not something to brag about.
As for the car, the front is a complete rip off but looks very good. As for the back, it looks like any other Kia, in other words horrible.

This back looks absolutely nothing like the A3 or any other Audi.

I completely disagree that this looks like the back of an A3. They're both hatchbacks, but I think that's about where the similarity ends. I think this is all weird-angled fussiness and the A3 is clean and tight and simple.
