Cool, It would be awesome If they remade it in the U.S.

[b3 madness]

Sounds like they are ready to retire the Kia Pride/Ford Festiva and a new replacement is in the works. In these times of rising fuel costs and cost of living increases, it would be nice to be able to have the Festiva as a NEW car, low cost, high MPG option.

A man can dream can't he???

If only you were allowed to import stuff from Iran

I beg to differ.

Probably drives an Explorer!!!......

:laughing3:

I think all the Explorer drivers are all just insanely jealous of our MPGs and they are out to get us. I had a Dodge dually force me onto the interstate shoulder thursday night going to work, he just whipped it into my lane w/o a moments notice or turn signal. It was close ! :x

^^Hey..............I have an Explorer too.

Dudley doesn't get along with Explorers.

And what's the difference?

Unfortunately you had to find that out the hard way.

GROUP BUY ON IRAN'S SAIGA PRIDE TOOLING!!!!

Okay, who has a large, unused warehouse near an area of unemployment?

We'll sell 'em "for off road use only" and then provide customers with "oldification kits" and copies of old VIN numbers so they appear to be made before '93.

Oh, there'll be a few minor improvements, like the B6 engine option and they'll all have Aspire brakes and rear stabilizer bars.

[neanderpaul]

Karl! You have THE idea!!

[chrisofna]

I'm sure you can get them imported.

If you can prove that its the Same car as the Ford Festiva to the people licensing cars to drive on the street, then they will title it. Its kinda like the Silvia being pretty much the same as a 240SX.

No way is the Kia Pride one of the worst cars in the world. Possibly the world greatest automobile value along with 121s and festivas.
