I have never been to New York, nor do I plan too. I don't like all the rude snobs that live there. Actually, I have heard that most of the North East is full of rude discourteous drivers!

If you're right about a compact pick up (I still think it's risky though) then maybe a concept version will be at the NAIAS. Maybe? P.S. If you want to see a Azera in person go to New York.

That's a lot of information. With the Fuel Cell Borrego I wouldn't be surprised about a bof Pick Up off that platform. P.S. How's my grammer Greg? Can you understand me?

Only pictures. Same with Veracruz, Genesis, Entourage, Accent, and Tuscon. Which is pretty sad considering I see TONS of Kias, and the Hyundai dealership is closer than the Kia dealership. Maybe this car is the CH (Amanti replacement) and the VG will be Optima replacement in a few years. The main frame/design structure has been used on the Optima only for three years, while the Amanti's frame/design structure has been the same since 2004 with only a single face lift. What this is is CH and VG will come in about two years, when Optima's cycle is over. Here is what we will see during 2009 (2010 models-projected) Borrego:no change, just debuted; Sedona: Mid-cycle refresh; Sorento: New frame/design structure released; Sportage: no change; Rondo: Mid-cycle refresh; Amanti: CH design comes out; Optima: no change; Spectra: Forte design newly released; Soul: no change; Rio/Rio5: Mid-cycle refresh. Here is what we will see during 2010 (2011 models-projected) Borrego: no change; Sedona: no change; Sorento: no change; Sportage: New frame/design structure released; Rondo: no change; Amanti: no change; Optima: no change; Spectra: no change; Soul: no change; Rio/Rio5: no change. Spy shots we will see in 2010: VG which we will see as new Optima in 2011 as 2012 model; face lift Borrego; new Sedona which will be released in 2011 as 2012 model; Spectra face lift; Soul face lift; new Rio/Rio5 which will be released in 2011 as a 2012 model. THIS IS HAPPENING FOR REAL: Kia is developing a compact pick-up truck under the code name XN, based on 2010 Sorento platform and design. XN will feature Kia's 2.2L clean diesel as standard engine. Other engines may or may not be available depending on market. A mid-sized pickup (HN) with design based on face-lifted Borrego and the Borrego's BOF platform may or may not be released in 2012. If it was released, Kia stated that it would come with the new 3.0L clean diesel standard, and may include 4.6L V8 as an Option. We will see what happens. For now Kia says this, "Right now, the compact pick-up market is dominated by over priced domestic vehicles, and reasonably priced foreign vehicles with bogus options and standard features. What we would do is create a reasonable priced pick-up that would come with loads of standard features with a fuel efficient engine that would dominate the market."

As well as the Veracruz. So I know what I'm talking about while your putting your entire name on the net. And I have been in New York and it's always bumper to bumper traffic. Your better off walking then wasting gas going no where. And I bet most of those Azera's are taxis. My grammer can't be too bad your responded to my reply.

This segment from Kia is sorta hard for me to understand between the BH and VG. I mean most articles say it's a Azera base car some are saying Genesis. Some are even saying it's the Amanti while others are not. I'm just going to wait until its manufactorer release details. I HATE rumors. And I'm not quite understanding the Amanti replacement. The Amanti is an E segment sedan right. what letter segment sedan is this VG supposed to be E or F? That Amanti replacement is just confusing on account no one really knows if this is two or one segment above the Optima. It's obvious it's replacing the Amanti no matter if this is VG or BH but what segment is the VG and BH (which one is above which one). That's what I want to know.

It looks bigger than the Amanti. I think that VG will probably be Sporty Amanti, and CH luxury Amanti. Sweet. It looks bigger than the Amanti.

This is not an Azera. Hyundai has another luxury sedan called the VI. The VI is expected to have a 4.6L and 5.0L V8 engines. I'm assuming the VG is sharing this platform. Himi, Patrick is 100% right.

Patrick, we might be wrong and at the end it could indeed turn out to be an Amanti successor. I agree with all of you, it looks stunning already although it has the camo all over it.
