Courtesy of MegaAuto.com, today we can see a complete picture gallery (including the interior) of the new 2012 Kia K9. The all-new K9 features Kia’s new full-size luxury sedan including the last evolution of Kia’s design language (Tiger Nose) and the more power and efficient V6 GDi engines.
The Korean-market K9 is fitted with 3.3 V6 gasoline direct injection engine (GDi) up to 300-horsepower and the other V6 GDi 3.8-liter engine with 350 hp. For the moment, the new K9 only will be available in South Korea with this engines (nothing about the rumored V8). Kia already confirmed that will not be available in Europe. Nothing confirmed about the US-market. Sales in South Korea starts during Spring. Enjoy the gallery.

I'm agree with you JG, I prefer the K7, is more original. I think that Kia with this K9 had to be more risk, but also understand that risk in this segment can be a big fail.

I am NOT a fan of the K9. I believe Kia made a mistake producing this mixed up BMW/Aston Martin/Genesis wanna-be luxury sedan. Sure, it will do better sales wise in Korea and China but ultimately, they should have scrapped it's design and gone with the more original and bold GT instead.
Yes Kia missed a great opportunity to take the Genesis chassis and produce a production version of the GT.
