Why would they name the CH Potenza? Kia really has had their hands full at R&D. During the year 2009 they have and will have dealt with the TD, the XK, the VG, XM, SL, and TF.

The CH could be in the crash test area right now. They could be crashing it at 45 mph up a ramp. I know it is no longer in clay form anymore. Maybe it's in the rollover test or braking test. It also could be testing for bumps. Or the heat test. I'm sure they are writing down and making the owner's manual for warnings and other things needed in the manual.

The name can pass as sporty. I also hope the Rio name stays. What's ironic though is even though the Amanti is not liked by many, they appear more common on the road than Azeras do. If they replace the name with another name that does not sound hot then I will get mad. The last good name Kia gave was the Forte and Soul name the rest sucks. Why Cadenza? They could have called it the VG. I don’t think it’s the name but It’s the design of the car that needs change. The name can pass as sporty. I also hope the Rio name stays.

They will probably give the K9 some elegant name like Protenza or something.

They can advertise a new carline like they did the Forte. As for sales if the economy keeps on going up they will hit the numbers. I think they are going to let the Amanti name die off..

We need a name change for the new CH. I wouldnt call it Amanti, with 5000 units sold in the USA annually nobody likes that car. We need a name change for the new CH.

I know it must be difficult to be testing all these new cars around the same time with the new Optima and Sportage and all. I'm sure they are paying more for their R&D than ever. But, they can handle it. I bet the Rio is done with the freeze test and is in the back behind the plant in Korea going in circles numorous of times with the CH. Or maybe the CH is doing the ice test with the Rio. Or could they be in the wind tunnel? Or maybe they are doing the crash test.

If anything, I hope the Amanti name stays because Kia's new names lately has not been the best. They’re crazy if they call the CH the K9.

I hope Kia doesn't call the CH the K9. It is supposed to be one slick looking car! RWD and a 310 HP V6, or 380 HP V8 in select markets. I can't wait for the 2012 Amanti! (CH is larger than the current Amanti [compare to a Genesis], the Cadenza is for the large car segment, where the CURRENT Amanti sits.) LMAO, Chajee Pojee! I hope Kia doesn’t call the CH the K9.

The Current Product, along with the incoming models will be enough for a 46% sales increase from this year. Yeah I think KIA is grossly underestimating their sales for next year.
