Yes,positive.

It does but I wish they would drop the “K” and spell it the correct way. It wouldn’t change the impact or the “nice ring” but it would seem a heck of a lot more professional. I don’t understand why marketing companies feel the need to come up with gimmicky spelling.

They're into it with Holden too with Holden financial services, a division of, you guessed it, Heartland. https://www.heartland.co.nz/docs/hol...85435057238592

Many New Zealanders thought 'Zespri' was gimmicky and an insult to marketing when the Kiwifruit industry relaunched itself.

It's now one of the most valuable brand in NZ and the world.

Also with Jaguar/LandRover.
They like new car dealers,even for their second hand cars.

Yes but that’s completely different. “Zespri” isn’t a real word - they created it.
“Confidence” is a real word and “Kia Confidence” would work just as well (better actually) in my opinion. Spelling it correctly doesn’t change the sentiment at all.

English uses the letter 'c' in a completely illogical way.
soft 'c' which would be better spelt with an 's' and hard 'c' which would be better spelt with a 'k'.

You only need a 'c' for words like church where the 'h' is then redundant.

And why, oh why, oh why must a 'q' be followed by 'u'?

Why does a 'g' appear where it is a 'j' sound so often?

Cough, though, thorough, same four letter ending but different sounds!

The ENGLISH KAN NOT SPELL !

As a shareholder in Heartland Bank and a supporter of the Kia Tigers baseball team, if this makes money they can spell it how they want as far as I am konserned.

Hence "ghoti" is pronounced "fish".....

"gh" as in rough, "o" as in women and "ti" as in station.

Fo-nettical spelling ov wordz iz kool. Nuff said. Is it any wonder kids find the English language difficult to learn, for example there's so many different ways to spell a simple word like paw. (poor, pour, pore).

Enny way...(sorry couldn't resist, back to normal spelling now), I hope HGH are pretty conservative with their residual value assumptions on European vehicles and / or are not wearing the risk of the residual guaranteed future value. Its hard enough to predict such things on value brands like Kia and Holden and near impossible with Eurpoean vehicles unless of course you use the value of 0 after 4 years (which won't in my experience be all that far from the truth)
