Following the first spy photos of Kia's upmarket sedan, a few mules have now been sighted undergoing warm-weather testing in Death Valley.
The front-wheel drive VG sedan is expected to bow as a 2010 model and will be based on the same platform that underpins the Hyundai Azera. Sources are speculating that the VG will be powered by a 2.4 litre four-cylinder, with several possible V6 options, including a 3.8-litre V6 - but nothing is confirmed yet.
The prototype spied here is sporting optional Hyundai Genesis alloy wheels which means that the newcomer could rival the Genesis.
We’re expecting the VG to make its official debut in August of 2009, with sales starting shortly afterwards.
