This is the Kia K9, Kia’s first rear-drive flagship for North America. Kia has previously sold a rebadged Mazda 929 in Korea but those days are mercifully over.
Someone in South Korea took a couple videos of the K9 driving along a highway. You can peruse them for yourself below. The K9 will probably shed its alphanumeric moniker when it arrives in 2013.

I wonder if it'll will be available with the 5 liter...
Knowing Kia Comercials, we'll see dogs driving it while gangsta rapping.
This car appears to be the miasmic aftermath of a drunken night of congress between a BMW 550i Gran Turismo and a Maserati Quattroporte. Its (relatively) better looking stillborn fraternal twin goes by the name of "De Tomaso Deauville 2011 Concept". Make mine sky blue metallic.
H/Kia have figured out that you can badge engineer your whole line-up with little investment and maximum payback. Just like Audi, Lexus, GM Ford, Nissan and on and on.
