I love the 2007 Amanti's styling, that's why I bought one! It has a very handsome profile and the looks really do grow on you.

RE; 17 I was impressed with the 06 Amanti, but felt that it was very much underpowered. I have not driven the 07 to see how it feels.

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.

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) 257
4500 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!...

Yes, the Azera, the Amanti, and the Sedona minivan share the same "Lambda" 3.8 engine.

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?#23 of 24 need help finding pic new to the forums by brohargrove

We don't really have a "pictures" area in the forums.
