Is there really a market for this? I mean, if someone wants something like this, can't they just buy the Genesis sedan, which I don't think is a big seller/hit as it stands. Does the world really need a Kia version?

This looks like a bland copy of a Jag XF. I was hoping for more, based on some of the bolder designs that Kia has been showing lately. Why not just pick up a Jag XF just off it's first 2 year lease? |

I really hope this is something more akin to a G8 and not just a Genesis that's $1,500 cheaper.

I said it before and I'll say it again, is someone looking for this type of vehicle really going to shop KIA for their needs/desires?

Hyundai should have just waited until they had a couple of cars with a couple more on the way and launched a premium brand like the Japanese manufacturers have.
Is the Genesis sedan doing that well that a Kia version is a good idea? Will there be enough people who say "forget that Genesis, this Kia version is the bees knees". |

EDIT: Sales figures for the Genesis for January 2012: 2,291 units in the US. I'd say that's a pretty good sign that the Kia branded variant will do well. |

The chrome-lined window graphic, and largely flat horizontal profile are pretty telling, even with the camoflage.

The Forester is there to pull it out of the snow when it loses traction(since it is just RWD). It is already towing something!!
