Replying to: billh6 (Aug 03, 2006 8:04 am) The goodies I mentioned were not even available on the 04-06 Amanti. They will make a great addition to the car if they make the trip from Korea. You may currently have intermittent wipers and 2 way lumbar adjust and possibly heated seats depending on the particular option package.

Replying to: scarpia (Jul 29, 2006 7:00 pm) If you have a look at the following link -- http://www.canadiandriver.com/ -- and click on the News, the leading story is about the new Amanti announced for 2007. I'll quote from the story: "The new Amanti features a lower hood, wider grille, revised headlamps and new vertical taillamps, with 17-inch wheels. New interior features include heated and cooled front seats, power-adjustable pedals, four way lumbar support for the driver's seat and a clearer trip computer display. An all-aluminum 3.8-litre V6 replaces the previous 3.5-litre V6, giving the car a 0-100km/h rating of 7.5 seconds, an improvement from the previous 9.2 seconds, and a top speed of 230km/h. The five-speed automatic transmission is carried over. The Opirus will reach European dealers in January 2007. The model was introduced in 2002 and has sold more than 144,400 units, most of them in North America."   There are also two pretty good pictures as part of the story. They show that the grille on the Korean website apparently won't come to North America. Instead there will be a wider version of the current honeycomb grille. I doubt that the side sun curtains, reclining rear seats, and several other options available in the home market will make it over here but at least it's coming with a new engine and improved handling. The press release states that, "The new model is longer, sleeker, and lighter, has an enhanced interior with new high-tech features, and uses a larger, more powerful V6-engine. the company says it has made significant improvements to the ride, handling and safety."   I can't wait to drive it and place my order.   MagMax Replies to this message: billh6 (Aug 08, 2006 6:43 am) shadow99688 (Aug 10, 2006 1:40 pm)

Replying to: magmax (Aug 05, 2006 12:55 am) MagMax, I went to the site you indicate and clicked on the News but never found the Amanti. I guess I misunderstood you. Bill Replies to this message: shadow99688 (Aug 10, 2006 1:40 pm)

The 2007 Amanti's have the navagation DVD in them in Korea right now as for it having it in the states that is still up in the air since they would have to get one in it that would support US GPS.
#20 of 103 !2005! Kia Amanti GH380 & GH270 by mike777 Aug 16, 2006 (8:28 am)
There were 2005 OPIRUS/AmantiIn in S. Korea with 3.8 & 2.7l with minor modifications (New tail lamps (more clear), rear w. mirrors, VDS)   Look at:   http://www.cardomain.com/ride/455568/1

I read in one of the larger car mags (MT, I think) that the 2007 Amanti will have a larger V6 with 264 HP. I assume they may be referring to the same 3.6 (or is it 3.8) from the Azera.   I'm not sure I trust the information, though, the same article had some misinformation. For instance, they listed the Suzuki Aerio as a 2007, but it is being replaced by the SX4. (Maybe I have my information wrong!)   A bigger engine in the Amanti would be a welcome upgrade! Hope it happens soon.   Greg
#22 of 103 2007 Kia Opirus at the Paris Auto Show by kronogoose Oct 01, 2006 (8:28 am)
Why is it that I have to use Google to find this information on Edmunds? Maybe I need some formal training.   Anyway, here is some information from the Paris Auto Show: http://blogs.edmunds.com/Straightline/1555   Interesting that some very significant changes--more HP, lower weight, updated suspension--are receiving little notice. Maybe that's a good thing to keep the Opirus/Amanti a "sleeper" luxury vehicle.   Greg
#23 of 103 Folding 60/40 rear seat for '07? by aladdinsane Oct 12, 2006 (6:23 am)
Does anyone out there have any clue as to whether Kia will implement a foldable rear seat on the "improved" U.S. version of the 2007 Amanti?   This machine would be perfect if I could expand trunk cargo capacity occasionally.   Looking forward to any 4-1-1. . .   Many thanx-   Peace!
