Replying to: floridabob1 (Sep 20, 2007 5:40 am) If you do try a test drive of the 2007, I think that you will be impressed at the greater power and torque in the new engine. There is a huge increase in HP and a 251 lb. reduction in the weight of the car (part of the savings comes from an aluminum block engine rather than the old iron block). The car has plenty of passing power and is quite peppy. Replies to this message: gamleged (Sep 20, 2007 4:38 pm) mikewellsesq (Sep 21, 2007 5:01 pm)

Replying to: mikewellsesq (Sep 20, 2007 4:12 pm) I believe I read somewhere that the Amanti is now using the same engine that's used in the Azera.   Amanti:   Type Sixty-degree six cylinder, aluminum block and aluminum heads Valve gear DOHC, 4-valves per cylinder Displacement 3,778 cc Compression ratio 10.4:1 Horsepower (SAE net) 264 hp 6,000 rpm Torque (SAE net) 260 lb.-ft. 4,500 rpm   Azera:   V6 Displacement (liters) 3.8 Horsepower rpm 2636000 Torque (lb.-ft) 2574500 Compression ratio 10.4:1 Valve train 24-valve DOHC w/ CVVT   Either the same engine, or Hyundai (which owns KIA) did a remarkable job in designing and building two different engines with identical specs!...

Replying to: gamleged (Sep 20, 2007 4:38 pm) Yes, the Azera, the Amanti, and the Sedona minivan share the same "Lambda" 3.8 engine.
#22 of 22 New Amanti looks by billh6 Feb 08, 2008 (2:04 pm)
I had a 2004 and traded for my 2007, due only to the bigger engine. I LOVE my '07, loaded, but I must say when I see a '04-'06 on the road I still do a double-take, especially the taillights. I'm not crazy about a TownCar, but that's what it looks like from the back now. I still love it. Any of you heard about possible changes in 2009?
