Official: KIA VG to replace Opirus - Alas, only for those who drive on the wrong side



Kia had officially revealed its flagship premium saloon. Previously code named VG, the Opirus replacement will be made available for the Wrong Hand Drive market as for time being, Continental, Korea and the States; like its (rumored) shared platform sibling - Hyundai Genesis.

Will this really come with Genesis' excellent RWD platform? Let's hope so. Will it find its way into the Right Hand Drive market? Let's really cross our fingers.

Reserves? The same gripe, I don't think KIA's logo would work on anything, they should go individual model branding a la Toyota's strategy in Japan now.
