> good honest sedan that over-delivers on expectations

$43k front wheel drive sedan, I might add.

New tagline: "The Kia Cadenza, for people that frequent cheese stores"

but seriously, I can't read the name of the car without my brain auto-correcting it to credenza

Materials quality maybe high but the design is very conventional. What Euro brands give you is both high quality and interesting design. IMO

Kia needs an actual logo for the steering wheel and exterior badges of this car. That interior looks very competitive and upscale, but it's a bit off-putting to see the same chipper KIA badge as the cheap & cheerful Soul you rented on vacation.

I've seen some Kias around here where people have replaced the badges with a stylized "K" that looks quite good. Apparently a modernization of the original Kia logo. Definitely looks more upscale. I don't know why Kia hasn't changed it yet. The current logo just looks cheap (never mind the "killed in action" jokes).

You think current BMW interiors have an interesting design? Wow, they have barely changed over the past 15 years. Mercedes has interesting designs but BMW and VW are stale and dreary.
