If I read the article correctly, this car isn't coming to the U.S.?

I wonder if the Amanti is going away.? Last month they sold 51 (yes 51) in N.A.

Peter Schreyer is turning Kia around relentlessly. i think acura needs to hire somebody like him.

As wagons go, that's one of the best looking in recent history, nice.

Schreyer is really doing great things over at Kia, but it's also evident that he has trouble thinking outside his own box. He has a very obvious design theme whether the cars are German or Korean...interesting...

Hot diggity. Kia is really stepping it up. My brother just bought a Kia Sorento and it's a bargain. We'll see how well it holds up.

Kia is really making me give them a second look at their cars.

wow this car is beautiful! How much for one of these? I can't believe it has black wood in the car..I wish Lexus offered black wood in their cars.


The only thing I would do would be is paint the grille and after the car would look perfect.

I also think this car looks a lot sleeker and has a better interior than the genesis. If the Cadenza looks this good I wonder what the new genesis is going to look like.

A car that I would never look at before is something that I can see myself driving

That's a nice looking car. The center stack looks a little busy, but other than that,

Noted, wagon chop job.

Thankfully the Cadenza looks 10x better than the Amanti regardless.

don't mean to rehash an old thread but I just bumped into some cadenza pics and wow what a looker!

this is a pretty big 196 inch full size sedan! hopefully it's going to be available in 4 cyl to save gas! wow a ls460 with a fuel efficient 4 cylinder engine! at 1/4 the cost!!

this will change the heirarchy price points of every car out there, wow the koreans are coming up.

it's always about design, design and design.
