Kia K9

So even Kia has a full-size RWD V8 sedan and Lincoln still doesn't?

In response to Kia RWD sedan. I say to you Hyundai RWD sedan + Staples Easy Button = Kia RWD sedan. Poof! With science.


In response to Lincoln: I KNOW, RIGHT!?!?!?!?


Addition: Caddy is about to start pulling triple duty taking on BMW/Merc, Lexus and become old Caddy very soon. Lincoln is a huge disappointment. With Caddy about to build an STS replacement, a small ATS and building on the success of the CTS, they are effectively handling every situation thrown at them aside from the Extreme SUV category. That's impressive.

Very nice overall, I'm really getting impressed with Kia lately. Granted the styling is a bit derivative, sort of latest BMW 5 series had le sexy time with a Hyundai Genesis with a Kia grill to hide the shame, but well done. And hey, Kia, former purveyor of cheap Korean driving appliances now sporting a 5 liter RWD luxury sedan!

Lincoln DEFINITELY needs to step up its game in a BIG way, like, yesterday! This is getting really embarrassing for Ford. Their current Lincoln lineup of pimped up Ford models will serve them no better than it did Mercury (you remember them, right ... right ... former Ford divisions ... nevermind). Hopefully a variant of the RWD chassis that will underpin the NextStang will also find its way over to Lincoln, but fast.

It looks pretty good. Definitely a lot of BMW and Lexus there though. but its impressive to see anyway. A few of my friends whove graduated or are about to have bought a CTS and it just pains me to see that the lincolns we have today aren't on the same level.

oh and that grill... that HAS to go
