Kia K900
Who says that luxury vehicles are the exclusive domain of German brands? All of Kia's know-how is on display with the K900, a large luxury sedan with rear-wheel drive and a real bargain of a starting price of less than $50,000. Buyers can choose between a 3.8-litre 311-horsepower V6 or a 5.0-litre 420-horsepower V8. It’s only available with rear-wheel drive. Here’s hoping there will be an all-wheel drive version someday.
