Inteleg. Nici eu nu o voiam anonima, doar ca imi place mai mult "cee'd" decat "KIA" (arise or come up out of Asia )
Iote ca am aflat si ce inseamna cee'd
The Korean company's PR people will tell you that the name works on several levels. The car has been designed in Europe and will be built in a factory in Slovakia. Much effort has been expended on making it conform to European tastes - deeper exhaust note, better quality trim materials, more conventional styling, more NCAP safety stars, that sort of thing. So cee'd is partly a play on the French abbreviation for European Community (CE), even though that particular appellation is defunct. Partly it's derived from its project name, ED, and partly it punningly reflects Kia's hopes that this hatchback will sow the seeds of success in Europe. (By the way, "Kia" derives from the Korean "ki" meaning arise, and the "a" stands for Asia. Nothing to do with Kia-Ora.)
