Kia Cadenza (rental, 2014, best, buy)

[asubram3]

The replacement for the Amanti is here. It's based on the Azera, but supposed to be sportier.

Looks like a refresh of the front end of the Chrsyler 200...

That's what Kia does best, copy other cars. The optima copies the Hyundai sonata, but it actually looks better.

No more than it looks like the front of the Honda Accord.

The proportions aren't even similar. Longer hood, steeper rake on the windsheild, wheels aren't pushed as far forward.

Looks more like a Lexus to me. They pretty clearly ripped that off. I wouldn't call having four wheels, headlights, and a grille copying. Too generic, although Apple has patents for rectangular shapes with rounded corners, so maybe that's just the day we live in.

Chrysler rental cars are unenviable. I'm sure it's way better.

It does look a little like the Chrysler...but it looks pretty good, whereas the Chrysler looks like a Chrysler.

I'm not a fan of large cars in general, but Kia seems to be hitting the right notes with their whole "design language."

Why would anybody buy a rental car?

Can't say it does much for me, the Azera certainly looks better.

As for the Amanti, I'm sure Kia wishes everyone would forget that disaster.

I think the Azera looks great but the Cadenza has a better interior IMO.

I might trade my Sonata Limited in an Azera or Cadenza if the price is right.

You'd be much better off with the Hyundai Azera...
