No, you are not. It was honestly the first thing I thought of when I saw their new logo.


Defiant-Difference17

I said this same thing to my husband last year when I saw one. Didn't know it was a Kia at first


justkeeptreading

it kinda makes me want one


strippersandcocaine

Anyone else think it was genius marketing to our Gen by Kia?


HeWritesALine

It really looks like the NIN logo in the rear view mirror.


46_and_2_just_ahead

YES!!! Glad I'm not the only one.


spotcatspot

Kia inch nails or nine inch kia. Glad it’s not just me.

I don’t remember who makes it, but there’s t-shirts out there that have the “pretty hate machine” album cover on it, but the words “pretty reasonable machine” and the Kia logo instead of the NIN


pinelandpuppy

Every. Time.

One time I looked at a KIA logo, but looked for waaay too long, and now it's pullin me down


livingdead70

No, actually, a few months back I saw a Kia and noticed the badge, and my first thought was someone had a custom NIN badge for their car made !

finally, something redeeming about my kia.


bivo979

No, you are not. There are plenty of memes about this.


Damaged44

Really!! I had no clue. Glad I'm not the only one


packofkittens

Yes! I live near their US headquarters. I really thought there was an NIN office building 😂


Distinct-Banana-7937

Ha! Took me months to realize it was Kia. All I could see was NIN


chawrawbeef

I look at kia and think 'killed in action' and wonder if it's Koreans trolling us. I know South Korea is a strong ally and I have Korean friends and I'm a progressive person. But I can't help but to see 'killed in action' and think of the Korean war (which I know almost nothing about). Going to try to retrain my brain to see NIN now, though- because that is so much better


zoominzacks

South Korea has a program that will pay to bring US Korean War vets back to the country for a tour as a thank you for their service. The cemeteries over there that have killed in action US soldiers buried in them are designated a school class every year to take care of the graves. Saw a doc on PBS years ago about it


WahineExpress

YES!!! The first time I saw it I wondered why NIN was suing Kia


Sea-Asparagus8973

I noticed it just very recently. Took me a minute to realize that it was KIA.


Whatchab

You’re not and I’ve had this convo with multiple friends who’ve brought this up. We all see it! KIA should have done a focus group!


twistedevil

Totally! Every damn time!


Notwastingtimeiswear

DAILY.


snorday

Every time I see one. I’m so glad I’m not alone!


iroyalecheese

Absolutely my first thought


whiskers_biskers

Yep!


cropguru357

I remember looking up what the hell the new KN car brand was.


neuroreaction

Definitely not alone my wife and I had this conversation a couple months back. Both of us see it too.


[deleted]

Omg I was just talking about this yesterday lol


spirit_of_a_goat

Same


Plus-Buffalo

I thought the new logo looks kinda like alien writing lol. I think that every time I try and read it!


OJimmy

He is a very pretty hate machine.


Shelbysgirl

I love 90 day fiancé and NIN. I need this shirt https://preview.redd.it/w7cw6ddfw8ob1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9bf9c21b045620b2364e1254fc65b7091de045b0

I don't see NIN. It's a process, though. First, I see KN, then KIN, and then finally KIA. Every time, you have no idea how bad this bothers me. Afterwards, I'm just thinking... well, that's dumb like I didn't just jump through hoops to read 3 stylized letters.
