A couple of weeks ago, we shared sketches of the KH concept sedan by Kia (also called the K9 in some circles), but if you're friends with the South Korean automaker on Facebook, you got first access to images of their flagship sedan.
As we reported before, Soon-Nam Lee, the company's overseas marketing director, says the car will go on sale in South Korea in the first half of this year and then in most major markets soon thereafter. It's based on the same real-wheel-drive BH platform shared by the Hyundai Genesis and Equus, and should therefore have some 5.0-liter V8 horsepower to back up its big, bold, BMW-like looks.
Before it hits the streets, though, Kia needs your help. They're asking their Facebook fans to put on their collective thinking caps and name the stately sedan. Suggestions so far include Kratos, Stylus, Zion, Luxor, Nirvana, Decima and Panther.

I could swear these guys just trace their model designs off from other cars and call it their own.... I see BMW and Jag in there.... hell, even on that first pic, the back reminds me of the 3rd Gen GS.

Absolutely. It really is a Frankenstein's monster of several existing designs. BUT, it is quite striking.
