Kia Reveals All-New ‘K9’ Flagship Sedan for Korean Market











Kia reveals all-new K9 KH


SEoul, Korea (PRWEB) February 29, 2012

Kia today revealed the first official photographs of its all-new flagship sedan to be launched during the first half of this year in the Korean market. Referred to by its codename ‘KH’ until now, the company also confirmed that the Korean market name will be ‘K9’ – while the name for export markets, as well as overseas launch timings, will be revealed later this year.

K9 is Kia’s first rear-wheel drive sedan. It boasts Kia’s ‘best of the best’ design, driving performance and high technology capabilities and is regarded as one of 2012’s most eagerly anticipated all-new models in both Korean and overseas markets.

This model’s Korean market name, K9, will complete Kia’s domestic market ‘K’ series range of passenger cars, whose members also include the front-wheel drive K5 (Optima in overseas markets) and K7 (Cadenza in overseas markets) sedans.

The letter ‘K’ represents not only Kia and the company’s home country of Korea, but also refers to the Greek word ‘Kratos’ (meaning powerful, domination and reign) and the English word ‘Kinetic’ (meaning active, dynamic). The ‘K’ series trio of sedans is a strong statement of Kia’s determination to offer consumers the broadest product line-up and establish itself as a major presence in the global automotive industry through ceaseless innovation and technological developments.

The K9’s exterior gives solid form to the recently released sketches of the new model, and presents its design concept, ‘high-tech luxury sedan’ image, with futuristic, sophisticated and distinctive charisma.

K9 is the latest continuation of Kia’s evolving design DNA, carrying its family-look radiator grille, bold ‘high-tech luxury car’ style LED headlamps, with classic design echoes in its voluminous hood. Viewed from the front, K9 presents an imposing image.

Furthermore, the sophisticated and bold profile with its simple but strong character line and the innovative and stable rear view with its high-tech LED combination lamps, luxurious chrome garnish and bumper-integrated muffler, completes the parameters for whole new level of luxury car design.

Soon-Nam Lee, Director of the Overseas Marketing Group, said, “K9 is our first rear-wheel drive large sedan, created without compromise in its design, driving performance and new technologies. K9 sets a whole new level of standards and values in the large sedan segment, and its design will be another Kia demonstration of our brand’s power to surprise the world.”

New Service Helps Those Choosing a Last Name

New Service Helps Those Choosing a Last Name










Durham, NC (PRWEB) January 18, 2008

When it comes to family naming, one size no longer fits all. Family Naming Expert Kelly Utt-Grubb claims that last names have become a choice rather than a given, and she has created a new consulting service called Name Counsel to help.

Utt-Grubb, who assists those choosing or changing a last name, says the naming dilemmas which show up everywhere from television to our dinner table conversations indicate a collective agreement that we’ve outgrown our old way of thinking but haven’t yet found the new answers we seek.

Although the majority of brides in the United States still take their husbands’ last name, the decision of whether or not to modify a surname is no longer just for newly married women. Divorced and widowed women, new parents, same sex couples and even heterosexual men are becoming open to the idea of modifying a last name to reflect equality in their relationships, and a significant number have already done so.

Creative new solutions such as using the woman’s maiden name for the whole family, combining two family names to create a new last name or choosing a completely new last name of special significance are being utilized.

After struggling for years with which name to use after her marriage, Cincinnati Psychiatrist Dr. Tammy Huber-Wilkins hired Utt-Grubb to help her decide. “Even as a Psychiatrist, I had not considered the depth of meaning and associations I had regarding my name,” said Huber-Wilkins.    

A 2002 academic study entitled ”Perceptions of Married Women and Married Men With Hyphenated Surnames” conducted by researchers at Millikin University indicated that nontraditional naming is viewed mostly as a positive phenomenon.

According to The Name Survey conducted independently by Utt-Grubb, 75% of respondents think that using a nontraditional last name–defined as anything other than woman and children taking a man’s surname–is a good idea.
