Hyundai needs to bring the Equus to the states then. I’ll make a great Lexus LS rival. But it’s the economy.

Hyundai is becoming 2 Lux makes in one. MINI on the Smaller end, and Chrysler on the Larger end. They will have not just the Accent/Veloster and Elantra, but a smaller car than the Accent but not as small as an i10 (Cough, Cough-i20). At least in the states.
-
Little known fact-The largest trade in for a Genesis in America is a Chrysler 300C.
-
Chajee, Its going to be like that except for Hyundai branching off into another Luxury brand. Hyundai will be the Luxury brand. By the way, KIA has the true Tiburon Spirtual Successor right now. Its called the KIA Forte Koup, and to keep the diehards happy they will also get the KIA Kee.
-
Hyundai is Diversifying its small cars and its big cars, the Middle of the road stuff will go to KIA. Hyundai Portico will replace the Entourage, and Possibly the Azera. KIA will get the sedan thats between Optima and Genesis spot, so the Sonata can grow on the higher trim models.

Let Hyundai have the luxury cars and Kia have the sports cars and trucks..Hyundai should branch off and have just a luxury line like acura and infinity.

Greg, look at the KND-5′s headlights and you’ll see the Forte’s headlight design in that. That should get that ES look out your mind. Imagine that the cover that goes over the headlights are not there. Just look at the headlights you should see the Forte, Sorento and Kee’s simular appearance. The glass cover is almost like glasses making the headlights not look horizantal like the rest of the new Kias. But actually they are horrizantal they just have a glass cover simular to the ES.

Yeah, ES 330, that’s the one I’m thinking of. I just can’t stand seeing the front of the VG, it is terrible!!

I don’t know what Greg’s problem is but I think the VG is one of the best-looking Kias ev er!
I hope Kia are as bold as they were with the Soul and don’t tone this down too much

This ain’t your grandfather’s Amanti boys! I agree, Kia, this pup needs a luxo-sporty type of name to go along with it’s spartan good looks.

This car is so nice looking. I cannot wait to see this at an upcoming autoshow. My only downfall of this car is the interior. They could have made the inside look better. The next Sonata’s interior looks better.

The Amanti should be laid to rest and a new name for the VG should be used.. Amanti=Old People car. Old people buy Cadillacs and Buicks. VG new and exciting and luxurious..Call it the Luxor or the Elixir.

Joe,
While the press release seems to have come from the UK, it claims “The new model, currently known by its code name VG, was shown in concept form at the Seoul Motor Show earlier this year and is set to replace the existing Opirus model in Korean, North American and European markets.” No, I don’t think the Opirus is sold in the UK.
