    You're not gonna freakin' believe this, there's gonna be a replacement of the Kia Opirus/Amanti! Here's the spyshots you may need to know:



    It's codenamed VG. I believe this has the same functions as the Hyundai Genesis.

    No V8, its FWD.

    Kia KND-5 Concept (VG)

    It rides on a 2,845mm (112in) wheelbase and has an overall length of 4,945mm (194.7in).

    VG will be Kia’s first near-luxury sedan and complete the automaker’s passenger car lineup Optima and Amanti. Developed under code name KND-5, the luxury sedan has been spied by our photographers on numerous occasions. The car rides on the same front-wheel-drive platform as the Hyundai Azera, known as the “NF” chassis. Powering this new sporty sedan will be Hyundai’s Theta four-cylinder mill, or the company’s Lambda 3.5-liter V6 mated to a six-speed transmission.

    Despite what has been suggested by some media reports, the VG is not necessarily a replacement to the aging Amanti flagship sedan. Rather, a larger model code-named “CH” will serve as a successor.

    Update: Some articles mention that the upcoming VG will use the platform of the next Azera, not the current Azera (it has a longer wheelbase than the current Azera).
