Beautiful, but please tell me they decided to call it something other than the K900 for the U.S. market. Havent they learned nobody knows the difference between a G70 and G90 STILL?! Not to mention the K9 drug dog reference...

K9 is what it is called in Korea, we get K900. I'm sure you noticed every premium/luxury car brand does a letter plus number designation, that's not a new thing. The review nit pick at things that pretty much all luxury cars do, anyone wanting to sell anything at that level needs to have those things that people associate with a luxury brand. The car has it's unique look, if it didn't they would call it out for copying someone else. The last one was also unique in its styling and a true luxury car but it wasn't a sporty car. This one I believe competes quite well with the vehicles it is targeting in its price range, while being larger and offering more features standard, quite a good bargain.

I loved the look of this car since I first saw it when it launched in Korea. I think KIA needs to do some really good commercials here to introduce this car and talk about the premium services they are offering for it. I also think they should include the Stinger GT into their premium line as well based on the price point. KIA is slowing making their way upmarket and I can't wait to see what else they bring out.

I think it's ugly.

Looks like something someone would buy as a retirement present to themselves. Kinda like the Continentals/Grand Marquis of the 1990s that all the 100 year olds were driving over curbs and babies.

Yes, exactly, Kamauxx! it’s so ugly!

Lol, you guys rough.

I think it looks great, for the segment it's in. Not a segment I'd purchase from, but one man's art is another man's garbage.
