Kia K9 Renamed "Quoris" For Export Markets

Kia has dropped the “K9” moniker for their upcoming flagship rear-drive sedan. Instead, they’ll be going with “Quoris” as the preferred nameplate. Here’s hoping that they come to their senses and think of something else for North America. Kia claims that the name comes from a combination of “core” and “quality”. It just looks vaguely avian to me.

    From the front it reminds me of an Ewok.

    This Quoris quandary has created much quibbling. The quorum involved in this quackery must quickly quash this queer and questionable name! I'm sorry, but I just can't keep quiet about this!

    The new Queef... from Kia. From the purr of its engine to the fragrance of its interior, you'll be entranced. Settle into the warmth of the heated seat with the exclusive grasping side bolsters, and ride, ride, ride.

    I like it. And if Chevy can have Cruze, then Quoris is just dandy.
