Looks like a cross between Lexus and Audi. Looks great, wish it wasn't a KIA.

The more I look at this car, the more I think that this is what the Acura RL should have looked like.

This looks much nicer than the Genesis, not sure if I can compare it to it though.

give it another year when the name kia and hyundai references to quality and luxury....as the new line up starts to roll out so will your feelings of korean cars. it's so obvious this is going to happen.

first time ever you'll be able to get a genuine european design with asian dependable quality. first time ever.

you wouldn't have to give a crap what happens to the car because you'll be warrantied up the yin yang with 100k miles 10 years. that's the beauty of it.

and it's in their best interest to stand to their warranty because they do not want a big toyota ordeal to happen to them.

the reality of the matter is that it won't matter because of the kia 10 yr 100k mile warranty! any company that makes that kind of suggestion has to be made their cars somewhat bulletproof right ?

You need to get off the Hyundai kool aid.

No matter what you say, Kia/Hyundai's brand perception will NOT change in a year.

As Hyundai continues to step up it's game, so will all of the true Tier 1 brands (ie. MB/BMW/Audi/Lexus).

Is this a compact like the A4, or something bigger like the A6?

I don't know why you keep quoting just the powertrain warranty.

The reality is most luxury car buyers have no intention of owning their cars for 10 years or putting an excessive amount of miles on them. Try checking out the CPO mileage at a BMW/MB/Audi dealership, you won't find used cars with high mileage. All of the Tier 1 brands also offer extended warranties and are willing to deal on them or included them in the package as a negotiating tool.

it's more in the realm of the a6, clocks in at 195 inch long so it's not a tiny little thing.


here's a video from a tuner shop in korea:
