3 New Luxury Imports Hitting the Streets Soon

All-New Kia Cadenza (replaces the Amanti)
Arrival Date: 2011
What Makes It Special: First Kia to offer a 290-horsepower 6-cylinder engine, 20-inch rims, and a three-panel panoramic roof. The Cadenza will also be equipped with a rear camera, which will be displayed on the rear-view mirror. This could possibly be the most expensive Kia to ever be sold in America, when it arrives.
Estimated Price Range: $30K and up!

Redesigned BMW 5-Series
Arrival Date: Spring 2010
What Makes It Special: A new parallel-park assist system and a distance warning system, which uses sensors to provide a top-view image and frontal collision warning that automatically applies the brakes ...... A hybrid is expected to join the line up in the near future.....
Estimated Price Range: $47,000 and up (should be priced 3% to 5% more than the current model)

All-New Hyundai Equus
Arrival Date: Fall or Winter of 2010
What Makes It Special: A lane departure warning system, adaptive cruise control, heated steering wheel and a rear seat that massages the passenger's back will be standard features on this upscale Mercedes and Lexus fighter ...... Oh, a built-in cooler keeps beverages cold, too. Hyundai will introduce a $100,000 stretched Equus in the near future. Just in case you're not sold on Hyundai or Kia, which is also connected to the brand, being a true luxury player, check out our earlier review of Hyundai's Genesis sedan.
Estimated Price Range: $60,000 and up
