The text was claiming that browser problems would occur if visiting a Korean auto manufacturer web site.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.165.120.66 (talk) 09:10, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I know this comment is 14 years old, but for any editor 14 years later who sees this: Kia literally said that it comes from the Sino-Korean word (see the 2 citations citing official Kia websites on Etymology section). Cobblebricks (talk) 18:36, 5 November 2023 (UTC)

The logo appears clearly as ΚΙΛ... That would be pronounced as KILL... Should the page be moved to "Kill Motors", since Unicode article titles don't work on the English Wikipædia?
I wonder if any of their customers know both the Greek alphabet and English..? Κσυπ Cyp     06:03, 27 Jun 2004 (UTC)

message: I've removed the section claiming the name is "stylised as ΚΙΛ". There's a difference between stylisations which are used in textual form and those which are merely graphical flourishes or font choices.
I've never seen any reputable source refer to the company as "ΚΙΛ" (i.e. using lambda in place of "A") in purely textual form. 
It's rather obviously meant to be a graphically stylised letter "A" and as per MoS: Trademarks: Indicating stylizations:-
: [We conventionally add "stylized as" for] the stylized version (which may include simple stylization, like capitalization changes, decorative characters, or superscripting, but not [..] attempts to emulate font choices, or other elaborate effects).
This falls into the latter category, so it was removed.

message: Sir, 
We own a kia sonet vehicle purchased just 8 months back.  On 10th  December my wife was in  Bangalore along with my daughter in law travelling in our kia car. The driver was 
Mr. T. Satyanarayana driving in Hosur road in Bangalore. Suddenly an Auto Rickshaw over took our car from left side hitting in the front corner on the left side and ran away. A message to this effect has been sent to the kia showroom in Kadapa where the vehicle was purchased.  And on 12 the December we have handed over the car in the show room at Kadapa. In turn they took the vehicle to Tirupati show room and today the service personal are attending to it. 
My request is, we are senior citizens both husband and wife age 72 and 64 respectively. We are suffering from multiple health problems .We need the vehicle for commuting to the hospitals and other essential works. The accident occurred on 10th Dec, it was handed over to the KIA showroom on 12 the , today it is 18th and the repair work didn't bigun .  No doubt that kia is an excellent vehicle , however the service seems to be very poor. Especially for the senior citizens this experience is really hard to digest . Request you to attend the work of the senior citizens with courtesy and promptness.
Thank you, 
Thodime Malla Reddy.
