Doug is the type of guy to judge a car by its font
Jeff Boski I’m tired of seeing your spammed comments
Jeff Boski I do that
Jeff Boski Typography is of critical importance! Just as “it’s not what you said, it’s the way you said it” (I.e. your vocal tone and body language), the written word carries a different meaning when it is expressed in different fonts.
I really hadn't considered font choice as such a critical design decision in a car, but it really is, certainly for luxury vehicles. I give Doug a Dougscore of 10/10 for raising this important issue and recognizing manufacturers like Volvo for putting in the extra effort and thought. Think about how many manhours and new materials a carmaker requires to change interior fonts... can't be easy or cheap.
He did the the c7 ZR-1
Doug was the kid that never passed the SNES controller.
Anyone else notice he only roasts cars he gets from turo...?
Smart Tech all the cars he gets from dealers or fans are dope.
because if he insults a car with the owner around odds are he'd get kicked out
Kris A He has insulted cars with the owner present. One was a Maserati.
Edit: Another was that communist car.
Because he travels to review good cars, but he reviews cars like this locally from turo
Fort Worth and most other cars aren't local to Doug. I believe he's still located in Pennsylvania.
Doug seems to not be aware this V8 model is missing the only option package available that would add nearly all the features he was complaining were missing (Ied headlights, cameras, etc.). In other markets you could even get air suspension. This one also looks like a 2016 model. Newer ones have a different bumper and taillights.
Todd m stating facts is being mad?
The plastic owner's manual bag says it's model year 15, so it's even older.
True
I'm fully aware of this. But why pay more for a Kia? You add these features and you've paid $65K for a Kia? Why are these items OPTIONAL?! This car's whole thing is value!!! If you pay Mercedes money for a Kia, you're making an interesting decision.
Doug DeMuro Some people might ask why spend tens of thousands more for a Mercedes or a BMW?
As a Korean, I'm proud of what KIA has achieved with this car. I would pay a few thousand more for a KIA for those options if it means saving a lot more than buying a similarly sized and equipped MB or BMW on capital cost as well as maintenance cost.
Coke or pepsi? which does doug really prefer in the back of kias finest? We may never know.
He prefers La Croix, like all the cool guys.

It's called the k900 because that's the next line in the naming scheme in Korea. The optima is the K5, Cadenza is K7, and this is the K9 in Korea.

Doug,
As a proud owner of a rare K900 with VIP package, I would like to point out some factual errors in the review.
The car you tested is the entry level K900 with premium trim that sold for 54K and not 60K. Next up you had the luxury trim with quad LED lights, larger polished chrome wheels, Nappa leather and additional technology for 60K. When you stepped up to the 66K VIP package, you had full color heads up display with navigation included, industry leading 360 degree camera, reclining rear seats, cooled rear seats etc. The dummy button for headrest that you indicated electrically operates headrest in luxury trim. The dummy K900 button in rear is replaced by power lumbar support. Every entry level car has dummy buttons on dashboard near steering wheel in lieu of actual buttons for advanced functions in higher trims and functionality that customer can add if desired. Oh by the way, the car was tested quieter than LS600HL, S550, 750i and Rolls Royce Phantom. Please get the facts right, thanks...
I have a white one with blue diamond stiched interior.
I put an exhaust on it and stay up with all kinds of sports cars.
Another youtuber reviewed this and gave it excellent reviews.
Doug is a spoiled rich kid. Remember all these videos are just his opinion and have no basis in reality. They're just for entertainment.
still the interior looks years behind its merc/bmw/audi etc. counterparts. and i doubt that it's actually quieter than the cars you've mentioned.
Bruh, its sold by hamsters
Doug is the type of person to skip out on his classic intro “this is a...” and thinks we won’t notice.
Also Audi A8 doesn’t remind me of rwd cause it’s Quattro lol, your intro 😥😥

Doug the type of guy to use Kleenex instead of toilet paper
sophie *moisturized Kleenex
sounds good to me
kleenex is softer and more expensive than toilet paper
Video didn't start with "THIS" 0/10
Ah yes, the trademark opening 'THIS' that always tells me my volume is far too loud.
THHIISSS... is a video without the iconic "THHIIISSS"
Doug you’re complaining about the equipment but you’re reviewing the base model. The luxury vip plus has way more equipment. Not a fair review.
Joseph Gallegos buddy your an idiot this car costs 60 grand and it’s crappier than a 98 Corolla bet you the “vip” version doesn’t cost $60,000
Is that what you tell girls you "date"?
Jake Ramirez the vip is the one that cost 60,000. The base is cheaper. You’re the idiot. Have fun in your corolla.
His point was that the E class has better features for a similar price. Did you miss that part?

THIS IS NOT! The New Kia 900. This is the last design.... just thought I’d point that out.
Brendan Hickey yea the bag the owners manual was labeled K900 MY15. Obviously the MY15 means 2015 printing of the manual.
Brendan Hickey Yea he should've put the year in the title of the video...
This is the new Kia K900. The new one was unveiled last week and it won't be in dealerships for months. If you walk into a Kia dealer today, this is the one you buy. Except, ya know, you wouldn't buy it.
Actually you are wrong. The new K900 doesn't have tail lights that are part of the trunk anymore. They don't have the blinkers that you like on the mirror as well. The new one comes with a 12.3 inch touch screen that is raised like the Stingers. This is a 2015 model that you are reviewing. The 2019 isn't even available to buy. Heck...it's not even on Kia's website! lol. Here is the real 2019 ruclips.net/video/prsJRajodd0/видео.html
Doug DeMuro I believe that extra page stuck in the manual is because they are using the original manual from MY15. That would explain the added sheet.
WHAT kind of MONSTER buys Coke AND Pepsi?!
Lol
A barbarian.
I’m a monster, then.
What Douggie here doesn't know, or forgot, is that the K900 sounds like K9 is because in fact is the K-9.... In Korea, they changed the name to the US market precisely because of the canine word association.
That’s..kind of corny. When i think luxury, pretty sure no one’s thinking K9 lol
Maybe in south Korea, K9 has a different connotation to them, and hence they choose that name, I never did a full on research, but happen to know through automotive news on the Internet.
kia really REALLY REALLY needs a new badge. Looks really bad on this car.
Kia have korea version of logo that looks better
90Rex agreed. Sometimes I see optimas with a different badge that looks like a wierd K shape...maybe a variant of that badge would look good on this car.
ikr? just a stylized K would be fine.
i agree
90Rex the name Kia is a bad name, they need to be gone
Doug is the type of guy who would compare a car to a dog
Doug you need the VIP Package, which makes this car like the top of the line S Class.
picked up a stinger gt2 i can safely say they will be a sales disaster but! These cars will reshape their brand image so they're a marketing success making everyone forget about their days making cheap low quality cars
Exhaust Sports Auto get that shit tuned bro. What color ? The only thing that bothers me that Doug pointed out was the tail light extended around to the side of the car. Otherwise I don’t think I would have noticed lol
Haha idk bro if i would get it tuned it is a lease after all, who knows what I will end up doing with it but mine is black with a red interior
133 80 Black with the red guts haha, and I actually like the extended tail light/marker.
Exhaust Sports Auto There are car-heads, then there are fashion-heads. Then there are fashion-heads who think they are car heads. Carheads like good cars, popular or obscure. Fashionheads like fashion.
It's a two edged sword with fashionheads. While they won't buy a good unpopular car, once it becomes popular they will buy it like crazy, and lecture car-heads on why the car is great, even long after the car no longer is.
All Kia has to do is keep going. The ppl who fashionheads like to imitate will start buying a good car, and eventually that's all it takes. It's for Kia to mess up. Personally, I respect Kia for stealing the thunder from the Alfa and the wind from the LC500. Ppl are excited about a (petrol) car again, and who thought Kia would be the brand to do it.
Kent Patterson so true. People love to hate on a car just because of its badge. We are the few who are objective and can see a dope car no matter if it’s a Bentley or a Mitsubishi.
Damn I haven’t heard that much truth in a comment in a very long time
As a Hyundai and Kia fan, I enjoy when you review their cars. What I would like to add is an explanation of the name K900. That is the US name but in Korea and other countries it is the K9. You see, Kia has gone to an alpha-numeric naming convention for their cars in Europe and Asia. K2 is the subcompact Rio, K3 is the compact Forte, K5 is the Optima, K7 is the Cadenza and K9 is the K900. For obvious reason it was changed for the US. But in other countries it is called the Quoris.
I think they changed to K900 because of Chinese car model named Qoros
Also known as the Kia Quoris. I guess they thought K900 would be easier to say??
😂 “made cheaply”. Not really but ok. Thats why hyundai and kia is in the top portion of initial quality and reliability. But yes you are correct. Sooo cheaply made.
NovaResource As the owner of a 2016 Sonata, it's amazing to see how many parts they reused in this car, fromthe Sonata/Optima line. Right down to the size of the manual and the leather holder. Most of the switches and knobs are the same, the vents, and even the center console and entertainment and climate control cluster is the same of similar. I think that is something the Koreans do amazingly well. They create really great component parts and have no problem reusing them in all models and even makes. And they are so good nobody ever complains. There are things in that used Sonata I got recently that feel as good as any luxury car I have been in.
random things That’s your opinion. But the truth is, they are great cars and well made. I know because unlike you, I’ve actually owned and driven them.
Put a mercedes badge and it will sell like hot cakes
And it will likely cost less to maintain!
Honest, this is a REALLY good car.

My father owns an A6 and I like the feel of a lot of the interior of the Sonata better.
Brian Beaver lmao Seriously
: I have a 2014 Kia Cadenza, and you are so right about the "recycling" of Kia switchgear. And I agree that the components are well enough designed that their use on other models is acceptable. The video shots of the instruments in this K900 could have been taken in my car.
The name k900 hurts this car. They should have created a separate division if they want to compete in the luxury segment
iSlandeRon they do it’s Genesis. Bc the motor from this is from the Genesis 5.0 rspec.
That’s what “genesis” is for
iSlandeRon v.w. learned an expensive lesson with the phaeton ( an excellent car) under the v.w. badege
Genesis is from Hyundai not Kia
iSlandeRon In many countries this model is called Quoris, in Korea K9 and in U.S. K900, I don't really know why Kia named differently the same car all around the world...
Most of his complaints about technology would be addressed of he'd have found a VIP trim model. It is interesting they still have the front seat controls in the rear for a model without the reclining rear seats though. With the VIP package though you get a 360 cam, The 28 way or whatever front seats, reclining rear seats with a cooled function on top of the heated. I'm thinking about picking up a 2015 VIP package for my next car. Definitely a bargain used.

12:26 maybe people who are colorblind, doug.
What so they need four options? Hell, traffic lights only give them three!
Well, there's like 6 different types of color blindness so.. Though these shades would be practically the same to most color blind people, should have gone with red, green, blue and maybe some shades if that's what they were aiming for
If it were me, I would've gone with light purple, dark purple, normal purple, and also fuchsia.
Traffic lights around America and most of the World also have near identical setup for lights, so.

I worked at kia when this came out. Lebron james promoted it and it was hyped but no one would ever buy it. One customer had a fake gold watch and Bluetooth. He was showing off to the rest of his obviously poor family and made us pull it out of the showroom to drive.

Not surprised. There's very few people that would shell that much money for a Kia. Name brand isn't everything, but it does make a difference.

The irony is that this car is more exclusive than anything it's competing against due to low sales #s. You're much more likely to see a Lexus LS or Mercedes S-class than a K900. I like that.
You're right, I saw one late at night on my way home coming up on my passenger side and was like wtf is that, It looked nice though white like the one in the video, haven't seen one since, I've see more Bentley's and exotics, even a damn McLaren in my area and immediately recognized them never knew what a k900 was
Inadvertent exclusivity.

The Crazy Channel do you really think that in 2015 they hadnt tech that you can find in 2018 cars. Yes, they had,but maybe they didnt put it in it. 3 years means nothing. 2015 was developed enough to have stuff that we now have. But its all planed and they know what kind of stuff will the use in like next ten years
the crazy whatever the type of guy to get butthurt over a car video.
k hold on lemme edit it

The Crazy Channel your grammar is horrifyingly bad.
The new 2019 model is way better.
I was just about to comment this. It looks way more luxurious.
Looks good but the Kia badge devalues it no matter what. So many other choices you can choose from
Paladin in my opinion if I had the money to buy one I would buy a k900 I mean If I had that kind of money then I probably wouldn't care about depreciation but again it's all personal preference I guess
I would buy 1 just to be different. I like the fact that it's rare and weird to have. Why do we all want matching cars?. I would buy the Chevy SS sedan, Hyundai G70 or a K900 if I could.
It looks a bit too similar to mercedes. i would have appreciated something a little more individual, even though it looks good
I wonder what car is OK for this guy?

Christopher Appel if it were a 2017 model it would have surround view, blind spot detection, lane departure warning and LED headlights.
Plus you should read the article more carefully. Doug wrote the following: "Right now on Autotrader, the average asking price for a K900 from 2015, the car's original model year, is just $26,800."
Christopher Appel: Haha, in your world a youtuber can't be wrong?
Christopher Appel Except the owners manual he featured in the video clearly shows it's a "MY2015". Jeez...
Doug please do the 2019 Model, when you get a chance. To see if they improved it.
Doug 🤦🏻♂️.. the only problem is that u always get a standard version of the vehicle and start roasting it for not having stuff .. i have seen k900 with 360 cameras , rear automated sunshades , auto brake and smart cruise control .. in addition it comes with rotating headlights and auto dimming when coming across traffic , my friend got one in December at a discount for 42,500 and i dont think he will ever get a better deal in his life , personally i respect kia for the effort and work 👍🏻👍🏻
Abdelhameed Alotaibi 2017 k900 also got touch screen head unit. Then they are optional full digital gauge since 2015.
Korean cars are only good for two things- and one of them is nothing.
The one he reviewed has automated rear sun shades. He demonstrated those. The ones on side windows are manual
Stop reviewing carryout havent done homework on. You review base models comparing to top tier models. That K900 is base model sir.
I like this guy's sarcasm lol💀💀
Would I buy it?
40k O yes
50k maybe...
60k definitely not
give it four years
Check out the new 2019 model
40k even seems like a bad deal. Newest model shown at New York Auto Show looks like Kia still does not get the market outside Korea, which is a shame as I feel Genesis as a brand may succeed globally. Biggest problem with Koreans they want to be German instead of uniquely Korean. Germans do German cars right because it speaks to their culture. Americans luxury seems to be coming back with Lincoln, Tesla, and hopefully Cadillac (once they realize they are not German).
Afeeq - You are right! The 2019 K900 is really nice, very much improved and a bargain for the price you actually pay at the dealership. The 2019 model is very nice, indeed..
40k not a chance. If it’s less than 35k maybe but it’s still not that nice

Doug is the type of guy who doesn't check on the manufacturer's website if the missing quirks are optional or just not available on that model.
Cash Bonanza Exactly, this vehicle has everything he said it doesn’t have on the upper trim!
I don't understand why spending $5,000 EXTRA on a KIA justifies this... the car should've had all this stuff standard for the $60K this one cost. It should have it all standard for $50K!
Yes, if you spend $65K you can get all the equipment, but you can also just get an E-Class at that point. WTF?
Doug DeMuro kinda makes sense. Doug please try to review the new k900 when it comes out
Forget features, performance, brand, price.....that steering wheel design 🙈🤢
Leigh Clarke Forte 2017 has it too...
The rear lock feature makes sense! It's so that you can put your arm on the armrest comfortably without having to worry about changing the controls unintentionally.
Sheldor34 i thought the same, and for kids maybe
If you are being driven does it stop the driver from changing the settings
I guess KIA never heard of the VW Phaeton?
Mike Morales this outsold the Phaeton. Also, VW kept making and selling it well after it left the US market. There's a car for everyone

He has to find somebody who will LET him review a Bugatti. And there's only like 5 Chirons in the US
FuckSmucker I think if he chooses to review a bugatti Chiron, he have to go england or in the middle east.
Alex on Autos got to review a Korean spec K900. Can I just say that America got jipped to the umpteenth level. The Korean spec is so much better and more luxurious. I’m disappointed that this got so nerfed. It’s not bad but the Korean version is a lot better
Assuming this is the same year as the one you're talking about, it's possible that Kia America understood that their brand is just too down-market in the U.S. (or, really, anywhere outside of Korea) to be taken seriously as a manufacturer of high-end luxury cars (the comments here definitely support this). Most companies have separate marques for their luxury vehicles precisely because of the importance of branding.
Calvin Huang No, Doug unironically reviewed the previous generation without saying it's the last generation. He's whining that Kia hadn't implemented 2018 technology in it's previous generation.
That's the new model, the Korean version of this gen k900 is still a bit nicer though.
Calvin Huang Plus I think most Americans would look for Lexus, Acura, or Infinity..before ever putting down 60 grand on a KIA😂Most people would never recognize this car as a “High End Luxury car” at least in the U.S.
This is old model. Also he’s reviewing base model. Why Doug would review the base model and then complain about the equipment is dumb.
The rear seat climate control lock button is there so you do not accidentally change the climate control when you reach for your drink.
The Korean in the sticker for the owner's manual says "English/America"... I'm Korean and I know both English and Korean
Why didn’t Kia make a V8 stinger GT? That would’ve been awesome
Tomcole020 they're probably testing the market first too find out how much interest there is in the stinger
Apparently they are considering it!
love seeing these cars come in with 20-30k miles on them and the interior is thrashed, the timing chains rattle, the finish flaking off the leather, thousands of miles past due for service, etc. kia owners are still kia owners and most treat them like disposable trash. I feel bad for people who have s-class/7 series money but opt for the kia instead, because the dealership experience is extremely ratchet and incompetent lol
Doug's the type of guy to get lost in the hood and ask a gang for directions
Randy Shredmenton LOL THAT WAS SO ORIGINAL 😂
lmao
Doug is the typ of guy to drink Coke and Pepsi at the same time. 14:55 :D :D :D
"That's why you shouldn't trust celebrities. Look, I did commercials for Coke AND Pepsi. I say whatever it takes, whatever it takes, that's what I'm saying. You know what? Can't even taste a difference, Surprise!! All I know is...Pepsi paid me most recently...so...tastes better!"

Wait a couple of years and you can buy it almost new for half the price.
Correction, I found some used ones online for the mid 20's
This I exactly why I love it when companies make pricey cars. I have no desire to buy new.
Maybe only one year. I got a one year old Infiniti for 60% of new, and Infiniti has much more brand cachet than Kia.
What are you talking about in a couple of years that car will be worth about 3k cmon. Its just a kia
Yup, and those have low miles too. But even then, I drive a Jag and I don't think I'd give it up for a K900. But if I were carless right now, that would be a great alternative to a new Honda Civic.
Great car, and I paid for my 2020 K900 with a personal check too. And really rare - just 305 were sold in 2020, before they discontinued selling them in North America.
2500 v8s were sold in 2015 in north america. i’m a proud owner 🤘🏽
The real question is whether LeBron James actually drives his or not.
he doesnt bruh kia would of gotten way more sells if lebron were to be spotted in one of these bitches
StrangeClouds he doesn't
If I was rich like him I sure wouldn’t
He did for awhile. But he got rid of it
Yes he does. Richard Jefferson posted a video of it. It's probably on RUclips
This will be a nice $6500 car after the recession
07wrxtr1 this will be a GREAT 6500$car after the recession
What recession?
Thanks!
Laugh - I'm betting that he was another among many that grew up in a fatherless household and now as an adult cannot control himself and his anger/impulsiveness issues. I think the best thing for all of us is to try to convert anger issues into more productive means in order to either better ourselves or make more money. Cussing out random strangers online just seems really unproductive, but may provide some short term gratification in our dopamine seeking crowd living for instant gratification yet feeling spiritually and morally bankrupt and empty. Yeah, big picture response, but it's comments like this that illustrate symptoms of a bigger societal problems.
Beware of cookybiscuit - the manliest man of all men :P He also has a way with words :)
Doug, the type of guy to wear a helmet while playing Forza.
I have a Kia Cadenza (K7) and I love it. I got it used for $16k and it has had minimal issues over the 100k miles I’ve put on it so far. Only a V6, but 300hp is enough to have fun with!
Doug the kind of guy to film car reviews, rate the overall qualities and experience, and then upload them to RUclips.
Dude change your stupid ass profile picture
Simon Favela let him live his life , Simon. He’s suffered enough
OMG DADDY DOUG IS IN JEANS!
No more dirty knees.
This model seems to be missing 40% of other options that were not shown in this video. This must be an older model. This car is very popular among mid to wealthy class to executives in South Korea and have garnered a lot of attention among other countries as well. It's really a very underrated luxury car as most people will just bat an eye thinking it's KIA. This model line wants to increase their image of quality for the KIA brand. After looking and comparing quality of cars made in South Korea and in the US, for some reason, the quality of KIA cars in its own country (South Korea) are really good and can be comparable to other luxury brands. If you plan on buying ANY KIA cars, make sure to custom order at the dealer and request it be shipped from South Korea plant and not US as certain models do arrive from the South Korea plant.
Alhazen Genesis is by Hyundai, not Kia
Thanks for correcting me, I meant to say Hyundai!
That's because it's a 2015 and not loaded. The 2018's aer obviously updated but doug is trying to pass this 3 year old car off as new.
It's too high priced. You can't be an outsider and price yourself up there with the established brands. If they had priced it in the low 40's they would sell like hotcakes. If I'm going to spend 60000 on a car I'll get a BMW or a Lexus and so will everybody else.
you don't get 8 cylinders on a BMW for 60k unless it's used..
Lexus was the same when it was first introduced,what,pay x amount for a up market Toyota,but they slowly proved their worth.
That’s not how it works buddy.
420hp V8... It's a Luxury Sedan not a Mustang GT. 60,000 is very fucking cheap for a 400+hp Luxury car.
I bought my 2015 for 21k. They depreciate big time but still a very nice car imop.
Lmao dude if you don't absolutely love Doug's videos, then idk what to tell you! This guy's corny jokes are freaking hilarious 😂
This looks great but the 2019 version in my opinion has the looks of 100$K car
Edit : www.motortrend.com/cars/kia/k900/2019/2019-kia-k900-first-look-tasteful-minimalism/
rohith ramesh no it doesn't
but it loses the V8 :(
they just need to drop the kia badge
How does this not look as good or better than any $100k sedan inside and out? i.pinimg.com/originals/de/93/7d/de937db7835887e05ed6e28204035475.jpg For reference, this is what a $400k (CAD) Bentley looks like: media.ed.edmunds-media.com/bentley/mulsanne/2017/ot/2017_bentley_mulsanne_LIFE2_ot_1104161_1280.jpg It has nice amounts of wood and leather, but a tiny display and not really any extra features. No C class with options or base E class is near this level ($60k)
In 2010, Kia had a grand ambition to make 'KIA' a luxury brand. They had renamed the all cars in South Korea since then...Pride to K2, Forte to K3, Optima to K5, and Cadenza to K7. Finally they planned the project of their new sports sedan, which is now Stinger, to K8 and luxury sedan to K9Fortunately, dealers in America and Europe were implacably opposed to the K-series plan. And Korean army also disliked the name becuz of their self propelled artillery's name 'K-9'.So kia just renamed K9 to K900... shame on you kia
Stephen Han could've called it the quoris
Michael Siraco Exactly
The Korean version of this car is called K9 but Kia thought that the name sounded like canine so they changed the name to K900 for the rest of us.
Doug the kind of guy... Who never replies to comments.
This car was released in 2012 in Korea and already has new model for 2018. All the features Doug mentioned missing are now included in the new model.
Eazie Way isn't it v6 only now though?
Michael Siraco initial release showed 3.8L V8 and 3.3L V6 Turbo (Stinger GT) engines. There is a talk they will release upgraded 5.0L as well.
*First time video Didn't start with saying Thisss is*

DE TECH it’s so annoying
DE TECH 😂
Nah, there's others
M&N Distribution 😂
TheMeatballMen 😝
As a Canadian Kia fan who owns a 2017 rio5 , I've always wanted one of these . Truly a beautiful car , I'd take this over a BMW or Audi any day of the week
Anyone notice the severed hand has 3 fingers?
Nick Kraffert time?
The other finger was already sliced off! D=
Maybe it wasn't that guys first time around the fan
Whoa! The first word in the video wasn't "This..." you changing your style all of a sudden, Doug?
Doug is the type of guy to look at forbidden pages in owners manuals
Unnecessarily critical and synical. The car deserves some slack.
Its a rental. Relax. Im sure if it were from a kia dealership that paid him to borrow it the review would have been a little... Just a little more respectful lol
The car sold 456 total in 22 months. Think about it
I believe the term u were aiming for is "cynical"
Doug hates korean cars
“It doesn’t have a 360 degree camera”
ruclips.net/video/50r3lEUW5is/видео.html
You can even see the front camera at 5:09
The link you posted literally says "nearly 360 degree camera", and is apparently an option not included in this particular $60,000 package.
James Ross haha that makes sense. But what about the front camera then?
