#31 of 1357 Amanti Engine.. by bluewinds Nov 20, 2003 (1:19 pm)
Hyundai/Kia currently develops all new 3.3/3.8 V6 engine. Those new engines will be available on Amanti/XG/Sonata/Optima/Sedona/Sorento/Santafe/Tucson in two years.

I hope it's more fuel efficient than the 3.5l. It's my only complaint about the powertrain in the Sedona I drove.   -juice

I saw the Amanti at the Sacramento Auto Show, it is a beautiful car, I was very impressed, though they don't let you fire it up and hear it run or drive it. I do remember the Kia logo being on the top part of the trunk, but nowhere on the front or sides of the car. If looked and felt like a high quality piece of goods, and I can't wait for them to get to the local dealers to drive one.
#34 of 1357 chicobaldguy-do post the results of your test drive after by iluvmysephia1 Nov 22, 2003 (1:31 am)
you drive that big beauty, OK? Go to the press releases either on the American or Korean Kia website and read the information sheet from Kia on this car. You can also go to investor relations on the Kia website if you want and they have a good write-up on Amanti there. There are too many details and features packed into this large offering from Kia to mention in a short pasty here to do it justice. You definitely get your money's worth with this luxury car. (A luxury car for $25,000 BTW).If you do just a leettle homework on this car you'll be justly rewarded for your labors. Packed with power, packed with pride, you got it....it's another beautiful Kia.
#35 of 1357 Kia's got a winner!!...but... by rctennis3811 Nov 22, 2003 (8:17 pm)
it needs a stronger, newer, and more fuel-efficient engine. also, the front end styling (though decent) does need the oval red Kia badge on the grill to make it look nicer, at least in my opinion   also, will Kia ever offer a navigation system in the US anytime soon??

#37 of 1357 kirstie h host-is that arch in St.Louis fun to go up in? by iluvmysephia1 Nov 26, 2003 (4:12 pm)
I'm over here in Rolla, MO, new to here, and I've yet to go up in the arch in that funky elevator. I watched a story on the building of the arch. Whoa, pretty incredible stuff! The last piece was ready to bolt in the the middle of it but the wind was moving everything too much. They finally clamped the two sides temporarily so they could bolt the last piece together...they traveled up and down in this small(relatively small)crane that straddled the outside of the outer arch skin. Also, what's the best time to go over there and go up in it? Any days and times better than others? Thanks...hope I win the Kia Amanti so I can cruise over to St.Louis in it and go up in the arch!
#38 of 1357 Amanti pricing by lok888 Dec 02, 2003 (10:03 am)
Kia finally released the pricing for the '04 Amanti which starts under $25K. I like the features that are being offered on this new Kia vehicle including optional leather seats with seat memory, stability control, keyless entry with alarm, Infinity sound system, better interior materials and stylish exterior design. It will definitely draw more attention for some potential Camry V6 buyers. But there is still a gap between Amanti and Accord or Altima with 50 horses more. Overall, Kia is on the right track again with many nice features in this car. And they are not sending us any first year model vehicles. It is still first year model for U.S. production. Like the Sedona and Sorento, they make sure they are doing good in their country before launching these vehicle to U.S.
#39 of 1357 lok888-that works out to our advantage, eh? by iluvmysephia1 Dec 02, 2003 (10:29 am)
That helps us rather than hurts so they work out the bugs on their domestic models first. Cool. The Kia Amanti for around $25,000 is a great choice...not even an eyelash batting required. Great choice. This company is by far and away the greatest manufacturer of vehicles in the world. Sit back, crack open a Diet Mountain Dew and watch the L.A.Lakers(sans Kobe) demolish the competition this year in the NBA. While you're at it enjoy watching the HyunKia machine rise to the top worldwide. Just keep an eye out for the idiot on the cellphone in the large American pickup or SUV.
#40 of 1357 1st Amanti review from Canada by netcam Dec 02, 2003 (7:02 pm)
Thought I would pass this link on, from last Friday's newspaper auto section. A positive review for the Amanti.   Excerpt: "As an Over-privileged Media Twit (or OMT, for you acronym lovers), I get to drive a lot of nice cars. And this may just be the nicest car(s) I’ve driven this year."   Read the rest at:   http://www.autonet.ca/EdmontonDrive/Stories.cfm?StoryID=10301   This guy also liked the Sorento in another review.
