Kia’s Chief Designer Tom Kearns Explains Why Kias Look So Damn Good Now

The Autopian Podcast

"Is that a Lamborghini or a Kia?"

The 3 musky-peers have a riotous time with one of automotive engineering's "auteurs"... that's German for 'really creative'... Tom Kearns. The brain, brush and chief designer behind one of Kia's most popular new EV vehicles and many other iconic cars. The trio of Geo obvo ask Mr. Kearns about his "older" work.

Torch reveals to Tom his creepy stalker side by pulling up pictures of Tom in his paint studio and begging him to accept an award in his North Carolina backyard, but Torch also chances it all by revealing that he has a fix to Kia's confusing brand imagery and it simply involves a red marker.

This podcast might be as explosive as Torch's circulatory system... or DT's digestive system... or Beau's neurological system... Is this biology?
