DC Car Examiner Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 I think it came out first, but the front end now looks too similar to the Chrysler 200. And the name is still terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvrsvt Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 I think it came out first, but the front end now looks too similar to the Chrysler 200. And the name is still terrible. The headlight shapes are nearly identical....so is this a fullsized FWD car like the Taurus? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ovaltine Posted March 16, 2011 Author Share Posted March 16, 2011 (edited) I agree that the name s*cks. It's called the K7 elsewhere. Good catch... the front end does resemble the new 200. It looks better on this car, but the similarities are definitely there. Since the K7 was out first in Korea, then the thought of Kia copying Chrysler's a little less feasible..... at least THIS time. ;-) As far as size, here's something I gleaned from a forum: "Wheel base length : Kia Cadenza (2845 mm) > Toyota Avalon (2822 mm) > Lexus ES (2776 mm)" So..... if it's longer than an Avalon, it's a fairly large car. -Ovaltine Edited March 16, 2011 by Ovaltine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANTAUS Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Well this one doesn't look THAT much like "Stitch", but doesn't really stand out either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sullynd Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 This is the KIA Genesis, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Car Examiner Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 This is the KIA Genesis, right? The Kia Azera, replacing the Amanti. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aneekr Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 More cheap junk! Cheap perhaps (it starts around 28 million won in South Korea, presumably with the 2.4L GDI 4-cylinder engine in that market) but definitely not junk! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blazerdude20 Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 this replaces the amanti... there is a k9 coming to be the kia version of the genesis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
