2010 Kia Cadenza

[dmitrius]

www.burlappcars.com has some pics of the new replacement for the old Kia Amanti. This replacement is pretty nice looking. I'm not gonna lie it looks like a decent car. Forget about the old Hyundai-Kia mentality. Can anyone post some pics of the Cadenza from burlapp and a pic of the old Amanti so we can get a better comparison? Sadly I still haven't learned how to post pics up. Work filters FTL

What you guys think of this model? Pretty good alternative for the Accord/Camry/6?

Now they are ripping off Audi. This is just getting out of control..










And here is the crapmanti:

Wow at the tails, almost an exact replica.

I just read an article on the Cadenza a couple of days ago on CanadianDriver. Not a bad looking Sedan at all, certainly much more appealing than the Amanti IMO. Regardless of what people think, Hyundai/Kia has been heading in the right direction the last couple of years.

IF you haven't noticed most of the new and "hot" Korean Car models are copies :O

haha i should sell my G and get that!

yea koreans are really #1 on copying, not just cars, anything! (BTW I'm korean) but we have quality to back it up.

They are about as bad as the Chinese, except not that bad. They change it up just slightly so the average consumer doesn't catch it. Those of us that are more familiar with cars, catch the little details that they just rip off other cars.

Ugh, i just want to see something original come out of Kia and Hyundai that makes me go WOW. The Borrego was the last thing i have seen them make that actually set itself apart in the field and looked different.

Although I hate Kia and Hyundai products....

I'll give them an A+ on the design of the Soul and Genesis Sedan (although this one is somewhat derivative, it still had enough Hyundai elements).....atleast on the exterior, they look great....

I still won't touch either.....give me a Nissan cube or Maxima over either.

looks good in pics

Kia would hate to have me as a customer, i would be going in everyday for them to do warranty repairs.

The comparison to the Audi is fairly weak. The resemblance is limited, with the front end and side profile being entirely different. I'm not even sure why Wannabe posted interior shots for comparison considering they are nothing alike. The rear end doesn't look like Audi's either with the only minimal similarity being the outline within the taillight. Oh noooooooooo!!!

To quote one of the comments at the "Canadian Driver" site

"Wow I’m surprised by your ignorance or ‘dumbness’. This was designed by Peter Shryder, the famous former head designer of Audi who designed the Audi TT and the Volks Wagen."

If that is true...then the similarity to Audi's is understood...

BUT Dimitriylm....what are you drinking????? you can't see the resemblance????

That rear end...everytime i look at the Kia, i have to triple check to make sure that it wasn't the Audi.....

One more thing...don't get me wrong, but the Cadenza looks awesome....I just won't buy one.

The exterior has several cues. Just look at it..
