If Kia sold a Sportage N with the v6 from the Carnival and the limited slip diff from the Elantra N they would sell every one they make. Are you reading this, Kia?
chevy sold a fwd v6 "blazer" for years and no one bought it it needs to be rwd or it won't work or even then, why would the jeets who buy these shitty econoboxes opt for a more powerful engine, for what?
>"sport" version of a shitty cuckoverNo.
>>28708512>sportOP is merely suggesting adding a V6 to a mid size crossverThat should be the fuckin standard
>>28708515The N line is the sport version of Kias.
>>28708511cuz the interior was trash and the price was still high regardless>it needs to be rwdcompromises interior room
>>28708520It doesnt matter what it's called, i'd buy a "sport" version of a shitty cuckover simply because it offers the bare minimum.
>>28708529There's no shortage of room in a cuckover anon. That argument only holds water for sub-compact econoboxes.
>>28708532>There's no shortage of room in a cuckover anonthe rwd genesis g70 has 34 inches of rear legroom i think the kia sportage has like 40 rwd inherently reduces interior space
>>28708542>comparing a sedan to a cuckoverOh, I see. You're just retarded.
>>28708563sorry, sigh, gv70i meant the compact SUV, not the sedan
>>28708507>If Kia sold a Sportage N with the v6 from the Carnival and the limited slip diff from the Elantra N they would sell every one they make. Are you reading this, Kia?Do the parts fit together? If so, just do it yourself. Engine swaps are pretty common when a company doesn't want to make your special snowflake car.You can just get an old....Oh, I see your problem Kias don't last long enough to make an engine swap worthwhile. Why do you want a special snowflake kia when it'll be non op in just a few years?
>>28708611>Do the parts fit together?I feel like they should, given that the Kia Carnival is built on the same platform as the Sportage, and has he v6. >If so, just do it yourself.I'm a wrenchlet.
>>28708951>I'm a wrenchlet.If you refuse to learn how to lefty loosey righty tighty, than you're going to have to pay a mechanic for their time.Get to it. Nobody else has your taste in short lived cars being modified. Also take pics.
>they would sell every one they makeif they made 25, sure
>>28708507>sitting there and actually spending time and mental fortitude thinking up conceptual Kia modelsGet some help.
>>28709320Not just conceptual Kia models, conceptual Kia cuckovers.It's not even the first time he's done this:https://archive.4plebs.org/o/thread/28508798/
>>28709320I spend tons of time thinking about conceptual cars. I'm so surprised Kia has made no effort to update their non-electric N line
they would sell thousands
>>28709886True, but only because it's not economical to produce a trim level in smaller numbers. They'd sit on dealers lots forever until they were sick of looking at them, and 99.9% of those thousands would be sold at extreme discounts that cause the company to actually lose money.
>>28709890wrong, people love cheap performanceas long as the ride wasn't too rough - (not too big wheels, not too harsh a ride)and the price wasn't too stratospheric - they would be bought out - look at demand for civic type r and such
>>28709902The Civic Type R and Civic Si, combined, accounts for less than 5% of Civic sales. That's fine when the Civic is so high volume, but few models have such success.
>>28709902No one, I repeat, no one except you, wants a "performance" version of a shitty cuckover. You are mentally ill.
>>28709910they sell everyone they make, and they often are sold at a markupthe market has pent up demand for affordable performance in a NON EV packagecompetition is scarceand people love SUVs>>28709911you'd be surprised - again as long as it's not too extreme it doesn't need to ride harshlyit should mainly be about the engine upgrade
>>28709915A shitty cuckover is still not an SUV, and your gooktrash garbage will never have the draw that AMG or ///M do to attract sales of their "performance" cuckovers.
>>28708507Upgrading a cuck box to the small v6.The people who buy this don't care. They want more screens and bigger rims.
>>28709922>semantic argument>>287099243.5 liters is on the larger side for a v6 they tend to max out at 4 liters
>>28708511a v6 can't fix that shitty interior.
>>28708507>The V6 from the CarnivalIn markets where they sell both engines, the diesel outsells the V6 by a ratio of 20:1.
>>28709947I assume in those markets diesel is a cheaper fuel.
>>28709915Giving consumers what they want isn't a good idea if what they want is stupid.
>>28709949It's about the same. It used to be more expensive but it became a bit cheaper in the last few years.But the diesel engine uses 6.5 L/100km while the V6 uses 9.6 L/100km. Anecdotally the diesel is much closer to the claimed figure, too.
They’d sell none of them as absolutely no one buying a Kia crossover cares about what engine is in it
>>28710570oh yeah they dothe smoothness of a v6 and the low end torque is just what Kia needs in a smaller car
>>28710579I wish I had a v6!
>>28709902>people love cheap performancepeople love cars that transport them from A to B uneventfullyIf they could close their eyes and magically appear at their destination they would
>>28711537>If they could close their eyes and magically appear at their destination they wouldthat's true, but in the meantime I think a lot of Americans would also value having a smoother more potent mill in a non lux car
>>28710579It’s not the 90’s anymore gramps.Modern economy cars are so refined no one but auto journalists are going to notice a difference in NVH between a 4 and 6 cylinder.
>>28712842lolno that's total bullshit the engine in the Sportage is rough as fuck.
>>28712855The entire car is rough as fuck because it's a piece of shit that no one buys unless it's the only thing they can afford, or they're the one specific anon (you) that has an autistic obsession with it.
>>28712874its really not that bad, the engine being rough and underpowered is the worst part (the second worst being the feel-less steering)
>>28713411>its really not that bad>c'mon, agree. My boss is coming.You're doing a heckuva job.
>>28713725job?
>>28714532Yes Shill-kun, you're really earning your $0.75 per day!
>>28714647i wish i were paid
>>28714653You mean you're not!? You're just this obsessive about a shitty cuckover that not a single other person on the planet gives a fuck about because you're autistic!?
