Default Re: KIA Builds a RWD V8 Sedan

Just had a quick look at them on youtube...The 2012 Genesis R-Spec doesn't look half bad. Plus it's got the 5.0L 320kw V8 mated to an 8 speed transmission. It's also got a 17 speaker sound system, only available in the Genesis or a Rolls Royce. It seems pretty damn good to me...

KIA will most likely get the same engine.
Ford is still looking at this car and thinking: "Duuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhh"

In the spirit of competition... where is my brand competing in the luxury RWD saloon market? Oh yeah. Just Australia.

Why would anyone feel threatened, they won't be sold here as the V8 Hyundais are LHD only.
