I love that Hyundai/Kia have such an aggressive EV roadmap.

But my lord the EV6 is so damn ugly. That back fin makes me throw up in my mouth. ??

heard a lot of good things about the GT. I just wish they put it in a more attractive body.

The green one with brown interior is incredible in person - better looking than any Mach-E combo. A true classic. Too bad they don’t have the GT in that color combo.

Ford needs an eruption green MME with classy interior instead of that dirty white/grey.

I'm in the never Kia camp. Cool cars but I can't get behind the brand because I can't un-see every Kia driver as having a 450 credit score.

I'd rather walk.

I drove one of these EV6 GT models and then went and bought a MME GT PE. Openly the Kia drove fine I am 5' 11" and could not get the seat in a comfortable position with the EV6. For real world driving you would not notice the difference between these two cars.

I will also say to my taste the EV6 is better looking than a Tesla and the fast charging certainly would be nice. Performance Kia 11.4 in the 1/4 mile vs MME GTPE 12.6 1/4 mile and cornering MME .96 skidpad KIa .87 on the skidpad.

Not sure it's worth 25% less range for a little bit better performance. Also for 2024 the MME Rally won't have the 5-second rule its performance will be very close if not better than the EV6 GT

You know, this might be just me, but I test drove a EV6 GT, it’s a fun car, but the interior felt down market.

We've had so many problems with our Kia Optima Hybrid (ICE side and electric both) that my wife forbids buying any more Kias. Luckily it's all been under warranty.

Neither can the Kia/Hyundai dealerships.

I took a look at an Ioniq as a second BEV and the entire dealership experience was disgusting. When you talk to others, this isn’t an isolated experience either.

The car also felt cheap.

I'm the same, I could just not pull the trigger on a Kia or Hyundai.

Love the EV6 but during riding season my bike stays in the back with the seat down. I looked at one and it didn't seem to be big enough so on my second mache

love that classic British racing green with brown leather interior color scheme. But it seems out of place in a modern SUV.

I looked at the GT before switching to the M3P, but for me the lack of power seats, a MSRP over $20K higher than the Tesla (and does not qualify for tax rebates), and Tesla supercharger network made me lose interest really fast for the GT.

For me... leasing an EV6 GT with all the crazy dealer discounts and lease rebate is cheaper than buying a Model 3 Performance in my situation. The EV6 GT is cheaper - around $48-50K.

The problem is... CCS charging sucks near tracks and that was my primary motivator to get one.

Now that the Ioniq 5 N has been announced, my interest in the GT is basically zero lol.

Seriously... are many Ford dealers any better? They have pretty old run-down dealerships near me. All of the charged markup during the craziness.... on Broncos, Mach-Es, Lightnings, etc.

Kia dealers are definitely very slimey but the Hyundai dealerships are nicer/cleaner and dare I say more professional than Ford dealers. BMW dealers near me are a massive step above Ford/Hyundai/Kia dealers.
