One of the better looking dashboards I have seen. Still too many buttons.
Not very comfortable seating in back for the middle person as the back seat AC is too big. No leg room for that person.

Does look nice. Wish they would get rid of plain KIA logo and use their Flying K logo

That dashboard reminds me of a Mercedes from the early '80s. All of those "next-generation assistance features" have been available on the Chevy Impala LTZ since 2014. Looks like a nice car though, and I'm sure it's competitive within its price point, but all automakers are making cars nowadays that are competitive within their price points. BTW... Flying K looks like a fake Lexus logo that may fool some folks.

We are talking about Kia/Hyundai where originality doesn't exist. If they built a full size truck it would be called the 150-F

Don't be ridiculous, it would be 150-H

I dont know about that, since 2011 it seems like other manufacturers have been copying them. The Chrysler 200 looks like a Sonata knock off.

They've gotten significantly better ever since they hired designer Peter Schreyer from Audi.

Yeah, sorry to dissent here, but just looks like any other Japanese sedan. uninspiring. Now, from a reliability standpoint, I would be expect greatness. But looks -wise, and drive-feel, I bet this is going to underwhelm the general public. Plus, considering that it's probably going to be base priced at 45kplus USD, and with the options they show on tv, closer to 60k, it won't be a strong seller.

And I hope I'm underestimating what they plan to retail it for.

In general I would not use "premium full-size sedan" description for a FWD car.
