  1. Skepta...People who are in for a top model S Class are not going to buy this Kia, you're right. But let's say there are a lot of people out there who maybe have a mid-luxury or near luxury car, who are looking to upgrade. Maybe they have a Lexus GS or a Cadillac CT6 or whatever. They might want the full size luxury car experience without the 150K price tag. See? Even the top model K9 ll be 40K cheaper than the base model S Benz. That's a lot of cash to most people. What do you think?

  2. SKEPTA ...i wasn't trying to bust your chops bro. I appreciate your comments. But I really do think that there may be a market like the one I suggested. In my opinion, the S Class is the finest large sedan in the world. I just don't feel that it warrants 2 to 3 times the cost of this K9. Anyway, Kia sells a lot of these in here in Asia, so they don't really care if they sell in NA. They just want people to see it. Enjoy your Range Rover bud!

  3. Comparably equipped, the S Class will be about $142K CA. Far more than the Kia. Yes, the Benz is better. But is it twice as good? I'm not so sure.

  4. Yang...I know! I wish it were only 50K here in Korea. Sadly, it's MUCH more expensive.

  5. Felix...outside, the Audi is great. I really don't like the direction they are taking on interiors these days. Looks like a cheap video game console. Also, not very safe to have no physical buttons. Makes me sad, cause I really love the last gen Audis.

  6. Shawn....Right! You could buy the k9, a fully loaded Stinger GT, AND a fully loaded Sportage for the price of the Benz. Cars for the whole family!
