    Spying: Kia GT Is Real!

      Our first look at the possible at the production version of the Kia GT

    We could count on our fingers on the stories saying the Kia GT will go into production since it was first shown as a concept back at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show. But we had no hard evidence to show it was really coming, it was mostly hearsay. But an eagle eye spy photographer caught the first spy shots of the GT.

    How do we know its the GT? The Audi A7-like roofline gives it away. We can pull out some other details such as similarly shaped headlights like the GT concept and large air intakes. Around back is a set of quad exhaust tips, which Motor Trend speculates this prototype has the new twin-turbo 3.3L V6 with 365 horsepower and 376 pound-feet of torque.

    The production version of the GT will likely retain a rear-drive layout, possibly using the platform underpinning the Hyundai Genesis (soon to become the Genesis G80).

    Rumor has it that Kia could premiere the production GT at this year's Paris Motor Show.

    This Jelly Bean is just that, blah looking with a Big Mouth Billy Bass front end. It will sell to few, but enough to keep it going long term and make a profit? I doubt it. Will be a short lived product I think.

    There is just something about how Kia does their grilles that just look so cheap and crappy to me. 

     

    I think Kia and Hyundai need complete refreshes on their noses because neither make junk anymore. They both make respectable automobiles and with similar language as when they made crap it still gives off a bad vibe...well to me at least..

    My parents are currently saying "goodbye" to their 2006 Sonata as its starting to fall apart.  They loved it for around town stuff.  I wasn't a fan.

     

    This, I like.

     

    We have a guy, pretty much all he does is put engines in Hyundais.  And he is busy.

      Argh.  That's too bad.  An Aveo would have had an interference engine.  When I lost a timing chain in my '84 Cutlass Brougham coupe 3.8 V6 with 160,000 miles, I was at the end of a ramp in Vancouver WA, there was an almost imperceptible shudder, and silence.  A tow truck came.  At the shop, they pulled off all the pulleys, also threw in a new water pump, put on the new timing chain, and buttoned it up.  I later sold the car to a really cool Catholic high school senior from a very nice African-American family in Seattle.  When the father met me at the AAA to do the paperwork and drove off, the exhaust note was like that of a car with less than 50,000 miles.  But my beloved car went to nice folks and I hope it served them well.  Forget those high-tech ergonomic seats!  Those plush Brougham seats made it the most comfortable car I've ever owned.

      2004, only 89K. My wife works from home, my retired mother kept it for years as a back up car, she drove my dads car most of the time until my father passed. I got eight plus good years out of it. Timing belt snapped.

      Yes! I do see some old Maverick, which we'd refer to as a "toad." I didn't know you had a Chevy Aveo.  What year and how many miles on it? Which part of it gave up the ghost? Yes, I remember your stories about your '78 Olds Cutlass Supreme with a 260 V8 that you beat to hell and back.  My dad would have gone off on me if I didn't baby the cars I was handed down to make them last a long time, the first of which was also a Cutlass Supreme. In a way, I sort of liked one thing about that magenta colored AI Cutlass Supreme. The front modification from 1981 was referred to as the shovel nose grille.  The AI version keeps it slightly canted back, eliminates the shovel nose, and references the car to the full size Oldsmobile line-up.

      My issue is the complexity over having an EV motor on the axel. I honestly do not get the need for this type of transmission. Software can usually handle adjustments to optimize efficiency.  This story nails it why the dual stage EV9 Motors are better than using an eCVT. The Kia EV9 Has Motors Unlike Any Other EV
