The company under which hangs Kia Motors offers a vehicle called Azera. Yes, the Hyundai Azera can be had with the same engine for less money. Sure, the Azera is a newer design. True, the Azera is much better looking.
Why then, pray tell, isn’t the Kia Amanti a member of The Good 12? Equivalent power, in addition to a superior image and visuals can be had elsewhere. The overwhelming nausea any compassionate person suffers when watching an Amanti drive by can be heightened only by the sight of sandals & socks or dress shoes & shorts. What Not To Wear? The G
ood Car Guy is ready to host What Not To Drive. Drivers of Kia’s Amanti are automatically nominated for appearances on the first show.
Alternatives: Hyundai Azera, Chrysler 300
Necessary Incentivizing To Switch To The Good 12: Free Kia Rio5 with every Amanti purchased.
Anything Else? The same company manages to introduce the Soul, although a lack of brains led to the debut of the Amanti.
I’m one of the few cars guys who’ll actually defend the Amanti. Yes, it’s ugly. No argument there. But the interior is better finished and more comfortable than any other car in its price range. And the powertrain performs well.
