Kia K9
Kia is believed to enter the luxury sports sedan segment with this car referred to only as K9. So far, only speculations have come out and if it were not for a reader who submitted this picture, we won't have an idea what it looks like. Reportedly, Kia's chief designer Peter Schreyer showed this sketch at a design conference near Seoul last Friday. Schreyer, a former Audi employee who designed the original Audi TT, has said that this car will be comparable to that of the Audi A8 and Bmw 7-Series. There have been reports saying that the K9 is in the same league as the Equus, however, there are those who speculate that this sketch is actually the smaller CH. Engines that are rumored to be fitted to the car include a petrol V8 for markets like the US aside from those already used by the Genesis. It could also sport an 8-speed automatic gearbox. Kia also has plans to launch a luxury sedan around 2011 that is codenamed the CH and is the sister car to Hyundai's Genesis sedan (codenamed BH).
