Kia and DC Comics Form Justin League Themed Cars

Kia is at it again, in a Superhero kind of way. Recently Kia Motors America and DC Comics joined forces to bring some of the world’s greatest superheroes, the Justice League of America, to life by styling cars after the comic book stars. Eight individual vehicles will be designed with Kia and comic book legend, Jim Lee. Each member of the Justice League will have a car designed based on them which will show character traits and they will be unveiled throughout the country over the next ten months at different shows. We’re excited to check out what will surely be some amazing rides and we can’t wait to show them to our customers.

The 2012 NBA Playoffs are only a few short weeks away and our hometown Chicago Bulls have the best record in the league. Our superstar, and reigning Kia NBA MVP, Derrick Rose has missed quite a few games, but the rest of the team has stepped up and persevered. Here at our dealership, we are incredibly excited about the playoffs, especially since Kia is the official vehicle of the Chicago Bulls. You can count on the fact that we will be paying plenty of attention to what is going on with them when the post season arrives. (more…)

New York City’s MLS soccer team, the New York Red Bulls, have just recently reached a partnership with Kia Motors America, Inc. that will make Kia an official partner with the New York Red Bulls.  On top of that they will be paired with Red Bull Arena as well.

This recent partnership will allow Kia property rights for the Red Bulls, on top of that Red Bull Arena and the New York Red Bull Academy and several training programs. Kia will have its brand featured throughout the stadium entirety, including branding on several bench areas, in-stadium signage for easy visibility, a solid presence at the arena's Interactive Fan Zone, and hospitality. Kia Motors America  also will be involved in the team' Kicks for Kids program. The Kicks for Kids program is the Red Bull’s foundation that sponsors and aids several  local charitable foundations. Sounds like this new partnership is too good to be true for Kia Motors America and their image.

In 2010, Kia announced its best U.S. sales and also their 16th consecutive year of U.S. market share growth. With such positive statements like that it is only natural that Kia spreads their brand more and more throughout the world through different mediums.  Now that they have put their brand name into professional sports, also in the NBA, Kia’s potential is unlimited due to all the added exposure.

We at Bill Jacobs Kia in Joliet, Illinois are quite excited about this new partnership with the New York Red Bulls as it can only open the doors wider here at Kia.  Make sure to stop down and check out our vast selection of  both new and used vehicles and help us ,help you. Kia’s new partnership will debut on June 10th when they are the presenting of the Red Bulls home match against the New England Revolution.
