Camouflage wrap. Let's just abbreviate it to "C-rap."
🤣🤣🤣
Same as the so called music c- Rap. Both make Straya more *rap!
Yes Danny mate it beggars belief why anyone in their logical and psychologically correct mind would even think of something like this - really it is quite sad when you think about it that that person or persons got this "projetc" into their tiny minds.
I think the actual "W" in the word Wrap might say it all.
@@johngoard8272 essentially, the "big-wigs" at Kia seem to have missed the point of the camo wraps that are put onto development vehicles: to create an optical illusion on the surface of the vehicle to make it difficult (or impossible) to figure out what the vehicle actually looks like while it's being tested (including on-road driving in public). The "golfball" stickers that were used on the development vehicles for the current Ranger worked particularly well for this by implying 3D shapes (golfballs, specifically) in the eyes of those who see them. The simplicity and high contrast of black and white stickers really work well for this, which is why black and white is what's usually used for the job for most car manufacturers. On the other hand, colours, as found on the Tasman, don't do a very good job in this regard.
Anyway, Kia is successfully getting people to talk about the car, so in that regard, they're getting what they want so far. However, is it going to result in sales success? Perhaps I'm wrong, but I doubt it.
All it needs is some tassels across the front and "HORN OK PLEASE" written on the tailgate, and it'd look like one of those brightly coloured trucks that India is famous for.
And the Philipines
"Honk if you like big timber. Right ladies?" Priscilla shouted from the smoke screened, glittering stage.
The only place that would be camouflaged is at the SYDNEY MARDI GRAS 😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Definitely the poofters' pride and joy.
Do you guys in aus have multi color ped crossing like in nz
@@ronaldwarren1267there’s one in Darwin CBD
My father's workmate had a new leyland Kimberley. In the days of falcons and kingswoods I remember as a kid feeling sorry for him and he always seemed on the defensive.
The Tasman mural makes the Cyber Truck look sexy
No nothing makes the the Cyber Turd look sexy😂😂💩
Point of order Re: Camouflage.
Two of the basic principals of camouflage are Shape and Surface. If you can do something to break up the outline or colour and make the vehicle look like something else, then it can assist with concealment.
During the 1st Great Unpleasantness, artists were employed to design camouflage schemes for all manner of things. Ships were a favorite and got "Dazzle Camouflage", not so much to hide the ship, as that can be difficult, more to make it harder to judge speed and heading, therefore making harder to develop an accurate torpedo firing solution.
I think they have succeeded in making the vehicle look like something I can't get excited about and will give it a miss.
"principals"
Principles please. PRIN-CI-PLES!
Principal = chief, director, school director, study council, teacher, capital, boss, business owner, superior, supervisor, manager, senior ... list goes on.

So Ken Done's still alive 'n' kicking by the looks.
Done like a dinner.
I think this bloke is Ken Ovadone…
I’m surprised it didn’t get the Pro Hart treatment 😁
Kenneth Meth-a-Done
Crazy thing is that there is a camouflage scheme of bold colours and shapes that is called “dazzle” camouflage that isn’t meant to blend the object in, it gained traction particularly in world war 1 with various navies and is meant to confuse you into not knowing the size, direction and speed of the ship. I’m guessing Kia is using the same dazzle scheme to confuse people into thinking the Tasman isn’t sh_t.
WW2 as well.

John John John. Steady up. I grew up in Goulburn & when I was a lad the smell wafting from the abattoir was gut wrenching. Or maybe it was just the odour from Canberra. Keep up the great content.
Looks like they parked outside a pub in lygon street and everyone threw up on it.
Should sell like hotcakes in Pakistan where it's "art" was apparently originally inspired from
So the base model will be called the "just able" the mid range is called the "Kimberley" and the top of the range is the "Wank"
Picture it with a red nose day, and you have the KIA Clown.
There's a reason some paths are never taken. This monstrosity is one.
Obviously Kia wants this vehicle to star in the sequel for Brokeback Mountain called The Return of the Browneye!
Oh look honey, there's a KIA Barf
You mean The K backwards N Barf
Hitching rides across Australia
Yeah, that was a bad idea since we found out Ivan Milat existed
All I want to know is, is the friggin thing any good as a ute?
I swear to the heavens my grand father had a tasman. His was made by british leyland. Nothing to do with Mike and Mal though.
Yea my dad had one. I’d love one.
Did it often break an axle? ;-)
Classy as John Lennon’s Rolls Royce.
Congrats you gave them all the attention they asked for and more
They haven't released a single detail on the function or features of this automobile yet for the cost of a $2,000 or 15,000 wrap they managed to get you to talk about it for like 20 minutes for no development at all
The perfect browndirt cowboy Mardi Gras machine...
You should see the inspiring patterns I can create with my ute and its Bald-Dunlops.
Spectacular. Sometimes it's a Winrun.
Looks like the ute never taken, bought, rented or not even stolen in Brissy burbs.
True, it would be an insurance policy of sorts!
First, we got the Cyber Truck. Allegedly designed by a 6 year old. Now we have the KN Tasman ute. Allegedly designed by a Ken Done prodigy.
Thanks. You made me laugh properly.
Stu. Melbourne
That would have to be a mixture of the best British Leyland Australia colours from the P76 colours range in one Ute.
That comparison is denigrating to the P76
@@zorbakaput8537 sorry 😀
In my fleet I have Tritons and Colorado’s , both due for updates. Based on Kia’s latest line up I will happily dip the toe in Kia’s effort. Yes, I’m a 53 year old dood that owns a blue collar small business
So you are prepared to shut your eyes firmly on the way into the dealership to avoid the visual onslaught...
So you hate your workers then.
@@alanhilder1883 😂😂😂
Goon.
Nice dazzle. The artificial bow-wave sweeping up to the B pillar is perfect 😙👌 Can't tell how many knots it is going at all.
It belongs in India the only thing missing is the tassels and bells, and lots of Blinky lights.
So well said: car manufacturers are so out of touch of what the public wants...
When I was "Arting" I was hired to do a job using my "Arting" skills and imagination ....... and part of the agreement (contractually binding) would have been the exclusion of any "Design Teams" from what I was up to. Having a "Design Team" involved in anything is a bit like laughing during connubial relations .... it kills the activity quicker than a head shot.
I was looking for that vomit wallpaper, now I know where it went.
In camouflage, looks sadly front on like an old d22 navara...
Wait that square slab of vomit in the picture is meant to be fine vehicular ute design language?
Hello from NC USA. Your satirical views are the best I've ever heard! Keep up your expose! Love it
They would have to give me 10 X the MSRP to even consider having that nightmare sitting in my driveway.
Backwards N could’ve saved a few pennies, just by parking this overnight anywhere in Melbourne. The highest of high graffiti artistes could’ve elevated this to the next level, without monetary gain. The only downside would be the lack of wheels come daylight!
This ute looks like a painted Wicked campervan, it just needs the, offensive slogan on the back window. I'm thinking if I ever scoffed down a couple of LSD trips this is what a ute might look like. What knobs..
Almost 400k subscribers John; go, go, go.
The "unique graphics" are graphically unique
Just used my Kaleidoscope to view this AE Special Report. What a treat that was, a path never taken before. If Muz and Trev use their own Kaleidoscope Kia may be onto a winner.
If this was the 60’s that would have flown off the shelves to be driven down the King’s Road in Chelsea. Who remembers John Lennon’s Rolls Royce painted in a similar fashion. A Ute is a work horse not a fashion model.
If they are are going to dress it up like that, then surely it should be renamed the Trans Tasman🤔
This camouflage wrap likely to inspire street dogs to pay a visit at the Tasman's wheel
looks like 'Scooby Doo’ & ‘Shaggy' should like it...
Kia would've gotten away with it, if it hadn't been for those meddling UA-camrs.
I'm a Kia fan, i own a Stinger GT so i'm in their corner, but my heart sank when i first saw what this ute will look like (minus camouflage). Those plastic "Groucho Marx' eyebrows" wheel arches will put many potential buyers off i reckon.
That will suit the Dictator when it goes to the Mardi grai it might make a great tow vehicle for the float.
That'll get a giggle or two parked outside Birdsville pub could be mistaken for a Variety Bash car. Looks like a year 3 class went to town on it.
I remember one tough 4x4 military kia ute when I was in the miltary in Korea. We had a granade launcer machine gun mounted on the deck. It was definitely well built for combat. Now I see Kia revealing a clown lifestyle block mum's weekend grocery shopping ute. Really embarrassing to see this new kia ute lol
The DMT and LSD references where fantastic and on point ! Well done fellow tripper haha 🤣
You have never been out of postcode love work
It's camouflage at a pride rally.
There are no words to express how much your videos tickle me to death John. I do love them.
Shagastanies! Love it!
This ute will go the way of the X class. Seen occasionally on the road and inspires a giggle.
Tapping into the minuscule trans market with this sucker.
I wasn't aware that the Russian car company KИ was releasing Australian inspired utes. Perhaps it was an error in translation and they actually meant to release an Austrian inspired ute.
Very good one John
Although I have to agree with at least part of KbN’s ad copy as I myself hail from England, Canada, Portugal and, occasionally, Mount Druitt
Much more convenient to take a dip in the typing pool when sans trousers.
Wheel arch bumpers for side on collisions?
Hitchhiking through the Australian Outback…..Destination Dingo Piss Creek or Wolf Creek ?
I remember when VW built a golf with every single panel a different colour, everybody including the media thought they were mad. But those cars now are so sought after, you will easily find a hen’s teeth with fillings than one of the original multi coloured VW’s
Said while wearing nominal camo against a background of hung hand tools.
Mmmur'can here, from the People's Republic of New Jersey. I was waiting for this video to hatch after seeing that wrapped thing in my news feed the other day. While you're dead-on with your criticisms of the limitless wankery involved in this press release, as well as the lack of specs that truck buyers need to make an informed decision, it hurts my heart to hear and see your depictions of your beautiful country. I'm a big fan of ASPW, Ronny Dahl (and even Robert Pepper when in need of sleep), and I for one would give body parts to travel the Simpson or the Canning. Breathtakingly beautiful (outside of cities) is how I'd describe 'Straya, mate. Canberra notwithstanding, of course-you gotta wipe your feet on the way out of that place, just as we do when leaving D.C.
Does it come off? How many buckets of paint stripper will it take to make look “ normal “
Did you get the Honda crosstour down there, if yes, how did ya feel about it? I know it has been a few years. Don't think many sold either. I thought it was alright at a show, but can't recall ever seeing one on the road.
I was in Oz visiting in 86 and for some reason went by the Goulburn visitor center. Imagine my surprise being introduced to the mayor. I guess he had nowhere else to hang out.
when even the current ancient hilux has 500nm 4 banger diesel, reported 440nm is not competitive. And the 6 cylinder diesel Toyota now has 700nm (over 500 foot pounds). Unless this thing is as cheap as chinese UTE (hint it won't be) it be a tough sell. Stuck in the awkward middle-ground
Unless they are goin to the Mardi gras the comoflauge isn't going to work.
Whats with the wheel flairs???
Come on, it's old tradition for car manufacturers to have their prototypes/pre-production models obscured during the last public road tests. So curious press cameras can't make out the fine details of the bodywork. Because at this stage of development the pretest vehicle is still susceptible for changes. And they want to avoid that some nosy car mag will show the photos as finished product, even tho the press is still under embargo.
Goon.
That must have been one driving down South Gippsland Highway Lang lang. Looks like a Rivion.
Sadly most "Australians" (and I use that term loosely) nowadays wouldn't get the NZ sheep references
A good kiwi boy 😊
they should wrap it in camouflage as a HILUX then they might sell 1
If they want to win in the market, they just have to say, “This is our ute. It does ute things. It drives on dirt roads. It’s good for your work tools. Put your work trailer on. Put the boat on for the weekend. It’s our ute. Feel it. Touch it.”
I like it a Clown on 4 wheels 😮😅😂😎🤔😊
dazzle camouflage?
This one was gooooooood John ... i grinned all thru the video!.
John, What do you think of Bonza Airlines?
In Cyrillic, the Kia logo says “KI”. For the modified Cyrillic for Ukrainian, it say”KIL”.
K backwards N has probably ruffled some feathers in our indigenous (those who identify as being more than 0.0001% indigenous) as they should have used dot painting….
Just reminding you that the dot painting style was invented by Geoffrey Bardon in 1971. Geoffrey was art teacher and taught the style to the kids in the Red Center. It is as indigenous as damper.
Is that a FB or EK on it's roof?
Pretty good marketing i'd say, keeps prospective buyers interested and may potentially get them to hold off buying a competitors model while they wait for the release date much the same way Ford did with the Ranger.
Came to think of graffiti soooo maybe it could work as camouflage against the backdrop of a wall in an alley? Only thing missing then is the outback...
Have you got any blacker?
It should have been the trasporter of choice at Eurovision
Brilliantly entertaining and on point. Car marketers need to get real.
Seems like KIA and JLR use the same marketing people, at least they share the same vocabulary. I'm sure there is an element of ute buying in Oz that's not purely utilitarian. In the Southern US, just about everyone drives a pickup, they are the dominant vehicle in mega-church carparks, most of them never taken offroad or used to haul heavy loads. It would be quite ironic if the Tasman turns out to be a decent ute.
With the way it looks I think “the path never taken” will be to the sales office.
But can it be protective coating? Nobody wants to steal anything painted like that.
It might be an anti-theft superpower...
If they really wanted to camouflage the Tasman, what they needed was a canopy, a bullbar and a paint job of baby poop coloured Raptor.
Looks like a dreamtime adaptation.
I agree.
At least the words “reliability and performance “were mentioned in the imaginative speil.
But very few people who may buy utes are likely to be inspired by art cred’ 😅
that ad for Norks, sorry, I mean Nord was great!
Crikey I gave up drinking and this happens???
Kia should bring out an upmarket model, throw a few more horsepower at it and give it a couple of driving lights as standard, and call it a Kimberly.
Why did this take 22 minutes? 20 seconds would have been more than enough.
Richard Boyd-Dunlop the Ken Done you get on Wish.🤣
