Looks great on the outside, like a cross between Audi and Bee Em...lousy interiors is what put me off, still got that drab KIA look about it.... plus it's only coming with same engine as Sonata, which I thought better looking overall.
1,463,700 Scoville heat units.....can u feel the burn?

Are you sure ? May be because the old badge is still there. Anyway, better having KIA then NAZA rite ?! :>
Btw, it was selling like hot cakes and better than Sonata at Korea.
How much will it cost when it launch in M'sia ? Impossible to be on par with Sonata rite ?!
Heard tat Veloster gonna launch soon next year....

if it's a 2.0l engine for sure will be priced like Sonata cos the Gov says so. Same for 2.4l. Interior still looking ugly to me.

Anyway, it's a bit late to launch it at Q4 this year or next year since alrdy hv news of the new optima launching at Korea / US market next year. Anyhow, still need to wait long Q to bring in stock to m'sia like the sonata, rite ?!

Personally, i like optima than sonata. Just need to wait wat kind of specification bringing in to M'sia.

K5 already in Port Klang according to Paultan's website.
Infact JPJ begun test-drive already.
Hope the pricing is reasonable and not too greedy... smile_tongue.gif

I'd imagine it will be priced to compete with the Sonata.

It's an interesting car. Nice looking too. I'd imagine that it will be competing for sales with the Sonata.

No matter how good it is, laggards like me won't consider it because of the brand.
