2010Vancouver is the third most filmed city behind New York and Los Angeles. Quite often I’m faced with detours and road blocks due to parts of the downtown core being used as part of a film set. The other day I was stuck for 20 minutes in my apartment complex’s driveway because they were filming a Kia commercial. It was an advertisement for the Kia Sportage 2011 model and the first scene where the car accelerates at the start is filmed right in front of my apartment!
You can see all the usual iconic landmarks of Vancouver such as Granville and Burrard Bridge, the Art Gallery etc. It’s so cool being able to recognise all these places being filmed in the city that you live in… Check out the full ad:

Overall, I like the design. I like the front better than the back. Agree with previous comments that it looks much better than any Toyota or Honda product. Still, the car could use a little bit of trimming – looks a teeny bit chunky to my eyes (maybe the pillars?). Hope Kia dials in the steering and handling to match Hondas. Then they’ve got a hot seller for sure.
