Kia | Istanbul not Constantinople #KiaYourCity from Twitter, Facebook and Google+ (Updated)

Few hours ago, Kia’s Worldwide Google+ (http://bit.ly/1qemZ7e) and Facebook (http://on.fb.me/1qJkw2f) accounts released a photo  under the #KiaYourCity campaign on social media. Nothing really special or unusual with this, however Kia shared a Kia C’eed photo that was taken in Istanbul, Turkey. Nothing unusual with this as well. I have just noticed that Kia shared the same content their Twitter (@Kia_Motors) account as well! (http://bit.ly/YWk22a) The surprising point was the label; 

“#ceed‪ in #Istanbul (not Constantinople) #Turkey #KiaYourCity #Kia”.  

Istanbul is used to be called as Constantinople. However, it is changed from Constantinople to Istanbul officially after the Turkish Republic was established. Despite this fact, Constantinople is still preferred by some people. For me that’s fine, I never argue about these things. Despite my calm approach to this, many people try to correct when someones says Constantinople to Istanbul. And it is quite interesting to spot this debate on Kia’s Google+ and Facebook pages.

The background of this lies on the history of Ottoman Empire and Byzantium. It is a subject that should not be discussed on a blog like this. However, I am really surprised to see this label on Kia’s website. And I don’t know whether it is generated by a user and shared by Kia or Kia generated it.

Psy Gangnam Style and Kia Cee’d

Gangnam Style is played everywhere we go, it became a sensation in a blink of an eye and received more than 350 million view on YouTube. Psy sings the Gangman Style with his unique style of dancing. This style became so sensational, millions of people follows him. Just check the crowd in NBC Today Show!

Psy is from South Korea, one of the most powerful economies in the world. And also home to Kia and Hyundai, also Samsung. This time, I want to talk about Kia. In just five years, Kia improved its design and became a serious competitor on market. Shifting from inferior product to demanding product! Many people noticed the improvement in Kia.

In Gangnam Style video clip, unfortunately I did not see any Kia! I was expecting a see Kia Cee’d instead of Mercedes SLK. New Kia Cee’d a global car and offers great features with a very distinctive design. The mutual point of Psy and Kia is their global success. I hope that, Kia will play Gangnam Style song in their future advertisements.

New Kia cee’d vs World!

New Kia cee’d, many of you will say this “come on, Kia !?!” Yes, I am writing about new Kia cee’d. Because, in last five years Kia had changed itself totally from the scratch! I am very serious about this, starting from their design philosophy to their head office interior design. Everything in Kia has changed! Therefore, Kia cee’d is worth to write :)
Honestly, I never thought that, one day I write these following sentences. New Kia cee’d has the best front-exterior design on its segment, it is so well designed I can compare with Alfa Romeo Giulietta without any regret. Actually, Kia has a way better-looking interior design than the rest of its competitors. Such as; Ford Focus, Volkswagen Golf, Alfa Romeo Giulietta.
Kia cee’d improvements are not limited the design, Kia cee’d also offers new engines and transmissions. New 1.4-lt (98 PS) and 1.6-lt (133) petrol engines, 1.4-lt (89 PS) and 1.6-lt (126 PS) diesel engines. In addition, there is a new double clutch automatic gearbox option. Also, there is an option of 10-way power adjustable driver’s seat in Kia cee’d. The option list goes forever, actually Kia cee’d seems to turn into a German car with this list! Don’t worry new Kia cee’d has an independent rear suspension that will improve the handling and the comfort!
I can clearly say new Kia Cee’d will be a strong competitor in a short time of period!
