Kia to show off four-door rwd sports sedan concept, hints at 'new chapter'

   Kia said today it will unveil a new four door sports-sedan at the Frankfurt motor show next month.

The Korean automaker’s UK branch released several photos of the concept vehicle in a press release today. Kia said the still unnamed car will be rear-wheel-drive and seat four.

The sleekly designed car looks similar to the Hyundai Genesis, and may mean that Kia will build a production vehicle based on that platform. The 2012 Genesis features a 5.0-liter direct injection V-8 engine that produces 429 hp.

"I believe the car is a strong statement from Kia,” Kia’s Chief Design officer Peter Schreyer said of the concept vehicle in a statement. “We are ready to fast forward to an all new chapter."
