if you have does it look as big as it does in pics ?
hopefully it has just as much presence in real life as it does in pics and videos....because this car is extremely hot! this peter schreyer guy is very talented.
my gawd this design is undeniable.

it's on the roads in S. Korea.
the 2.4L GDI (i'm guessing direct injection) model comes with the flat-faced 18" wheels. The 2.4L is only available to the highest trim level as well apparently.
They should bring it here--but who knows if they will.

seems pretty nice relative to what its competiton would be in the states. I still think the hyundai sonata is the best sedan in its class. This KIA would have to contend with its sonata cousin if sold here. I just saw a sonata in the parking lot and am truly blown away at how nice they made this new car. Hyundai and KIA are blowing up

I've seen it in shows and whatnot (I catch some Korean variety shows) and it does look really good. It's not that big. Kia also has the K7 which I believe is their flagship.

it's not "if" it will be in the states, it "WILL" be in the states; along with the cadenza k7 maybe early next year 2011. but for sure they both will come to the states.
