    Who wants a free Kia?

    ...Theres a small catch.

    But Kia reckons it can sweeten the deal by offering you a free Carens MPV if you're expecting.

    There's just one tiny catch.

    You have to give birth to quintuplets. That's right. Five of 'em.

    Unfortunately, the odds of that happening are about one in 57 million. Even if you're pretty confident in your own virility, that's still something of a long shot.

    In fact, the chance of having quintuplets is four times less than that of winning the lottery. So let's weigh this up.

    The cost of entering the lottery? A quid. The rewards? Buckets of cash, fast cars, round-the-world cruises and the chance to flick the Vs at your bank manager.

    The cost of quintuplet parenthood? Expensive champagne, candles and false promises. The reward? Five little terrors. Oh, and a Kia Carens.

    Suddenly that decision doesn't seem quite so tricky.

    The odds are 1 in 57 million? Worse than lotto? Apparently you're more likely to get struck by lightnight 6 times or something than win the lotto...
    No free Kia's then.

    No free Kia; kind of a mixed blessing...

    Man, having quintuplets would suck. Not only would you have to deal with five kids, but you'd have a Kia as well.

    I dunno...you could crash it into a wall at high (I mean medium) speed and save yourself from a life of misery.
    Maybe Kia should off you a choice of prize, car or cyanide pill.

    I'm dropping out to create a company that starts with motorcycles, then cars, and forty years later signs a legendary Brazilian driver who has a public and expensive feud with his French teammate.

    I'd have a KIA if I was old enough. So long as it's a 2005 Sorento 2.5CRD XT with every option plus the chrome styling bars with light blue and grey paint, just like my bosses. It looks good! DONT SHOOT!!
