They could not have possibly ripped off BMW any more than they did, unreal. I shall from this moment on call the car the ClitQuoris, the Q being silent.

Figures, the one K-Drama I passed on. The first time I saw the Equus was in a drama and recollect it was also in City Hunter.

As for the discussion about the name, the Japanese weren't that much better for some models. Now that we've heard them for decades, it has become acceptable. "Civic", "Accord", "Supra" ?!

If so, I see very competitive pricing, will probably start at $28k.
Actually the 7-series.

The Cadenza competes with the Avalon and if/when that comes to America it will likely start near the price of the Azera probably just below $32k.

I think this Quoris(a very weird name) will start in between the Genesis and Equus somewhere in the mid $50k range.

The TV show Nikita main characters drive KIA Optimas and KIA is an advertiser.I wonder if the Quoris will replace the S Class 550's that I've seen on the show.

Delete that middle part in the grille and you have a BMW. Its crazy how they can make the car resemble bmw so much and get away with it

If they price it right ( and they will ) I think they will a decent number of these. even in LS I still find myself drooling over the turbo optimas. They look so much better than any sedan out there in its class and most in all other classes. Its a real looker. In fact if I was buying a new cheaper sedan today I would seriously consider one. This big I would consider over a new LS/GS

Well, then, I guess it's your ***. Quo, and words derived from it, are derived from the old Latin language of centuries ago.
