[Kia Stinger]

I don't know about YOU - but I'm excited about this car! I liked the first generation very much. But now that we've seen what Kia can do with the Stinger, I'm really excited to see what they can do at the top of the totem pole. At the Mercedes-Benz S-Class level. I'm so proud of Kia and I can't wait to see what's in store for us in the high-luxury level segment...

Can't wait to test drive this car.

It should have the TTV6 from the Stinger as the base engine in the K900 for 2019. AWD will be available then too. We got that in a product plan email a couple months ago. Not sure what else they have planned though.

We never got the K900 in the UK, I hope this one will be different!

Turn Bierman loose on that beast.

I hope it has the 'E' emblem.

Good to know! A big sedan like this needs power. They're keeping the V8 as an option, huh?

I hope it has the 'E' emblem.

It certainly will in South Korea.

I haven't heard that but I hope so. I checked the email, I got it back in November and it was literally just a slide with some spy shots of the car and the captions "TT 3.3L, AWD, and Evolutionary"

I hope it has the 'E' emblem.

Apparently it will for the Korean market , they were a tad cryptic about Global markets , but I'm betting not ...................but hoping for !

So it looks like it will have the "E" emblem. Note the word "Evolutionary" on that email @Dave Miller received. Now Kia really need to nail this one if they are in fact trying to compete with the top dogs. The current generation, although a good competitor, did not get the spotlight it deserved. Can't wait to see what they came up with.

I think Evolution would make a pretty good luxurious sounding brand name... Genesis... Evolution... Hmm...

Or as some like to joke, the Biblical Name Game analogy. Hyundai is to Genesis as Kia is to REVELATION.

Which is better than Exodus, for those wanting to keep the E.

...and while I'm going completely overboard. I'm going to rebrand the Stinger, the Lust. The K900 as the Envy. The Telluride will be the Pride. And the future high performance sports car will be the Wrath.

There you have it, the prophet has spoken. Haha

Okay, we're starting our own Kia sub brand. I'm on the badges.
