At several places around the globe, Kia is currently testing an all-new almost-luxury sedan codenamed “VG”. Since our first batch of photos, these latest shots are the most revealing yet, as the VG prototype sheds most of its heavy camouflage for less obtrusive coverings on the front and rear ends.

As a result, we can see with greater depth the VG's front/rear ends, overall body shape and body details such as design lines in the door panels. Additionally, we can see LED taillights and projector beam headlights.

The VG is related to the full-size Hyundai Grandeur/Azera and will presumably be powered by the 3.3-litre and 3.8-litre V6-engines. Also possible is Hyundai's all-new 4.6-liter Tau V8 with all-wheel-drive.

The VG is expected to be presented in August 2009

The Koreans are not content to be bottom feeders any longer. Americancompanies have to really pcik up the pace and compete. No free ride anymore. WWII has been over for more than 60 years.

It's a clean looking car...but a bit too Oldsmobile like. Hope the interior will be decent.

It looks better in the concept sketch/drawing...

They can compete with the rest of the world, only if they can come up with a Plug - In Hybrid.
