Power doesn't release the exact placing of the individual brands in the below-average rankings because they don't want to bite the hand that feeds them - they'll never get invited to a press event or get a call returned ever again. It's a white lie, just like the ones that stockbrokers tell in the newspaper every day: What they say What they mean Very Strong Buy Buy Strong Buy Hold, Buy if you feel lucky Buy Hold, sell if the price is right Hold Sell Sell Bail Out Now, at any price, before they go Bankrupt. We don't care if they'll never talk to our stock analyst again, they won't live to see the sunrise. ;-) >Derek, this has to be bogus, it has Kia listed!

One problem after another, the 10yr >100K warranty is going to kill them! The 10 year 100,000 mile warranty is the only way they'll get some people to even set foot on a Kia lot. Their reputation proceeds them. Of course if you do buy their car, there won't be much resale value when the car hits 100,000 miles because then someone will have to pay for the repairs, but we won't tell them about that part. ;-) --<< Bruce >>-- -- Bruce L.
