Has this student eventually designed a production car during his career ?

Carnut · « **Reply #52 on:** November 07, 2020, 10:50:59 AM »

I can't find one, so probably not.

Jongser Park ?

Can the puzzle car be found online ?

Carnut · « **Reply #56 on:** December 03, 2020, 02:14:40 PM »

I don't think so.

oko94 · « **Reply #57 on:** December 05, 2020, 04:45:47 AM »

Is there any way to solve this puzzle apart from finding the book or magazine where the puzzle picture was sourced from ?

Carnut · « **Reply #58 on:** December 05, 2020, 02:58:38 PM »

I haven't been able to find it online, but it does form part of Kia's series of concept car names, so it's probably out there somewhere; maybe on a Korean site in the Korean language!

There was a KMX-90 in 1984, so maybe a KMX-92 in 1986 ?

Carnut · « **Reply #60 on:** December 05, 2020, 05:44:20 PM »

Only the first letter is right (because it stands for 'Kia' anyway!)

KEV-1 ?

that was a minivan, that is why I modified to KEV-2

oko94 · « **Reply #64 on:** December 06, 2020, 02:46:33 AM »

Alright, let's go for KEV-3 (even though I reckon you have found the right answer).

Carnut · « **Reply #65 on:** December 06, 2020, 04:52:36 AM »

Getting closer...

It's K*V-2*

pnegyesi · « **Reply #66 on:** December 06, 2020, 04:57:59 AM »

KCV-20?

Carnut · « **Reply #67 on:** December 06, 2020, 07:14:14 AM »

Close, but no cigar yet...

oko94 · « **Reply #68 on:** December 06, 2020, 07:30:19 AM »

KDV-21 ?

Carnut · « **Reply #69 on:** December 06, 2020, 09:04:25 AM »

All except the 'D' is right; the middle letter stands for a word.
'21' refers to the 21st century.

This was written about it at the time in the 1987 publication I got it from:

"Thinking that the need for multi-functional, multi-purpose vehicles would increase because of the country's growing economy and driver population, the designer has proposed a 3-door sedan with large sliding doors."

KSV-21 ?

Carnut · « **Reply #71 on:** December 06, 2020, 05:37:22 PM »

Not an 'S'.

I don't want to earn a point, as so much work was done by other people for this puzzle, but may be...

...KAV-21 the solution?

oko94 · « **Reply #73 on:** December 07, 2020, 03:12:04 AM »

KFV-21 ?

Carnut · « **Reply #74 on:** December 07, 2020, 04:28:05 AM »

Neither KAV-21 nor KFV-21 is right.
Try to think of the word that might refer to a car for the 21st century from the point of view of 1986.
