No joke, quote from the article: Elsewhere, the Kia K8 features a dynamic character line said to take inspiration from “yachts sailing across calm waters.”
The Koreans are getting miles better each generation at least, I hope they keep it up. IMO, they should have topped out the sedan lineup at the Stinger. |

Looks good, although not a fan of the front end. Judging by the rear this looks to be Peter Schreyer's work. Looks like it could be one of those DS luxury cars in France.

I don't understand this trend of ENORMOUS rear overhangs all of a sudden. The Honda Pilot and Honda Accord are the worst offenders, but this Kia is now in the running as well.
I feel like if you loaded a bunch of suitcases in the trunk, the front wheels would come off the ground.

Not my cup of tea, but damn KIA knows how to do luxury, while not being luxury.

Looks good besides the horrid front end.

Well - I would expect it to have modern approach angles and not have overhangs like a K-car from the early 1980's. See below. Top design is what a car should look like, bottom one is what this darn thing looks like, along with the new Accord.
