Kia Amanti Successor

Citing slow sales, the Amanti/Opirus was dropped after the 2009 model year, because of Kia entering a new decade with new nameplates, such as the Soul, Forte and Forte Koup replacing the Spectra and the Rio being replaced by the Venga. The Kia VG concept (Kia KND-5, production model named Cadenza) was reported to be successor of Amanti, based on the platform for the next generation of Hyundai Azera.
