huh.. I have never seen the edited one on tv before, only the first one.
I was the only member on this board with a Yellow Focus Sedan, and a 2002+ Euro Facelift on a sedan.

I haven't seen the edited one either ... an ex-Ford guy I've known for about 15 years is the head of Kia advertising in Canada - I'll ask him about it.

^^ Uhh?? Are you talking about platform sharing with Hyundai?
With respect to the ads Kia Canada rec'd complaints from the Montreal Police Brotherhood, the Quebec Police Association, the Ontario Association of Police Chiefs and the RCMP - basically saying they believed the ad to be disrespectful to female police officers.
The creative head of Kia's ad agency (also ex-Ford agency) said that in consumer testing most women thought the female in the ad was "empowered" and although men thought the ad humourous they did not find it demeaning to women.
I think the decision Kia ended up making was to run the racy version after 9:00 pm and the edited one prior.
Personally I think the police have a lot more serious problems to worry about than this.

The fact most of their subcompacts look conspicuously like Subarus? The overrataed engines (also a Hyundai trait, apparently)? The fact their own executives are really raging criminals?
I have no love for Kia.
