I find the article quite difficult to follow. It was clearly translated from Korean or Swahili into a sort of pigeon English, most likely using a web based translator - Google perhaps.

The only thing I "learned" was that the i30 was based upon a Kia platform and engine - I was under the impression that the engine was totally Hyundai and the platform was a joint development.

Did the "photograph" not ring any bells?

Maybe not.

It would be a waste of time Russian into the task of demanding royalties - it looks like the blog is based in Moscow. The ZIL link suggests this.

This might explain why the translation into English is so poor, in places it is highly amusing.

This bit is typical..

Our verdict
 So what to choose? How we think, a potential owner in this case would have to be guided solely by a gust of soul. And the Hyundai i30, and Kia Cee `d worthy and, most importantly, completely self-contained vehicles. Both were designed with a swing to Europe, and we must say, the engineers with the task successfully managed. The only thing that perhaps we should not forget – on the secondary market, Hyundai has always been more expensive than Kia. However, whether or not to think about the future, if there is an opportunity to enjoy the present?

Shambles,

I wonder if they think that colour is genuine?

It just goes to show that journo's don't actually check before they go to press.

Who is sat in the car?
