These have been out for a week, but since I don’t think anyone else shared them, I will! So far the RWD Kia GT is looking pretty good. I’m liking the rear of this, the quad exhaust tips really set it off. There are rumors of a manual being offered...interesting. I have !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . More spy pictures below:
Front is looking pretty good to me. However, it does show that Kia is placing it’s headlamps practically on top of the hood now. See Kia Sportage and 2017 Kia Cadenza.
Luckily, the sweet exterior turn indicators kind of hide the high placement of the lamps. What would you guys guess on the front tire width, 245 mm?
Check out that distance from the front doors to the center of the front wheel well! Prestige Side mirrors are on the doors instead of the a pillar. It looks like it’s in between a 4-series GC and 6-series GC in size to my eyes. Like around 190' total.
So far, 7.5/10! Too much rear overhang for my taste and I’m not convinced it’s a sports sedan. It looks like a “near-luxury” sedan, like less than an Infiniti G70 but more than a Chevrolet Impala.
Works for me though!

Pretty much! I think the model will also debut Kia’s “GT Line” for the US. I know Euro gets the C’eed GT, Optima GT, and so on, but the US doesn’t get those badges. Should be a couple steps below exciting!

I don't understand this car. Where does it fit with the K900?

It’s below it. So the new 2017 Cadenza will likely get a 4-cyl option which will lower the starting price to around $29,000. The K900 received a V6 option in the US this model year so now starts at $49,000. Basically, if you were to mix the Genesis Sedan with the Genesis Coupe, you get this car which should have a price range between $36k (for the base model with a 2.0T 4-cyl around 250 hp), and top out at around $50k fully loaded with perhaps a 365 hp 3.3T V6 and AWD.

I actually did not realize the cadenza was still a thing, thought it was replaced with the K900. I'm not much up on my Kia, I guess. Also, needs moar R-Spec!

My issue with Hyundai and Kia, they always seem to be slower than what their listed horsepower would indicate.

I like that liftback look but the car looks like it’s going to be some 4000lb luxo sedan so unfortunately that makes me uninterested.
If it was like Alfa Giulia 3300lb sedan type car I would probably snap one up.
