Are Hyundai's and Kia's Clones of Fords? My BIL has a '15(?) Fusion w/ecoboost, I have a '17 Sonata. From the outside, they definitely have the same profile and dimensions. On the inside they are very similar in layout as well. I once owned a Kia Sportage (don't remember the year) and it had a Mazda motor. How much involvement did Ford have with getting Kia/Hyundai going in the USA?
BIL's Fusion doesn't average what I do in my Sonata. It averages 30.2 mpg's and his is closer to 25. He lives in Charlotte and drives more aggressive than my wife does in Tallahassee, so I'm sure that make a difference. but the similarities in the architecture is hard to dismiss.
