2014 Kia Cadenza

Though this car exists overseas as the K7, we're fortunate to get a slightly more appealing version in the Cadenza, with a revised fascia — which Kia is calling a "Tiger Nose" — and other bits. Kia's new flagship is motivated by the most powerful engine that the company has yet produced: a 3.3-liter V6 that makes 293 horsepower and 255 lb-ft of torque. It has navigation as standard equipment, and that displays on an 8-inch touch screen. The Cadenza is loosely based on the Hyundai Azera, and it'll go on sale during the second quarter of 2013; expect pricing to start in the low $30Ks.
