• Maybe someone might want to turn this into a proper car article? As it stands (with a mere link) delete, but I think the title merits an article. The article is proper now. Keep and kudos to Norman. 129.177.61.124 08:29, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)
• Keep. I turned it into a proper stub and I am now working on it. [[User:Norm|Norman Rogers\^talk]] 15:35, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)
• Keep now with Norm's edits. [[User:GRider|GRider\^talk]] 16:50, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)
• Keep. Good save. Andrewa 17:34, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)
• Couldn't agree more. Keep, delist article and shoot a Barnstar over to Norm. The original was nothing more than a weblink. Signed by the poster, yet! - Lucky 6.9 19:45, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)
• Delete This information should be in a car almanac, not an encyclopedia. Tomato 23:00, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)
• Comment: Respectfully disagree. I helped bring three articles about individual cars into featured article status: Ford Mustang, VW Type 2 and Mercedes-Benz 450SEL 6.9. I've added lots of info to Chevrolet Corvette, Chevrolet Camaro, Chevrolet Nova, Mercedes-Benz 300SL, Mercedes-Benz 600, Ford Escort, Ford Escort ZX2 and the Mercedes-Benz main article. An article about an entry-level luxury car from Korea (unusual in and of itself) could prove interesting. Heck, this car might even prove to be historic at a future date as a result. - Lucky 6.9 23:41, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)
• Keep. As notable as any other car model --LeeHunter 01:53, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)
• Keep, what's the difference between this and any other model of car? [[User:Premeditated Chaos|PMC]] 02:45, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)
• Weak delete, I don't think random car models are notable. &#0xfeff; --fvw* 03:14, 2004 Dec 22 (UTC)
• Keep. I don't see why we cannot have information about cars in an encyclopedia, especially from well-known brand like KIA. -[[User:Ld|Ld | talk]] 05:44, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)
• Duh, keep. —[[User:Radman1|RaD Man (talk)]] 08:21, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)
• Keep. Wouldn't it be awesome if Lucky 6.9 helped bring this one to featured status. It would be Wikipedia's ultimate Horatio Alger story: from VfD to Featured. --Szyslak 08:29, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)
• Keep. All car models are notable in their own way. Well done norm. Gazwim 09:42, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)
• Post rather excellent expansion, clear keep. Dan100 09:55, Dec 22, 2004 (UTC)

end moved discussion

[edit] Article name change

I moved Kia Amanti to Kia Opirus, because the car is only known as Amanti in North America, and it's called Opirus everywhere else in the world. --Pc13 23:59, 2005 Jun 21 (UTC)

No prob. I imagine the same could be true of all the Kia and Hyundai articles. --SFoskett 15:16, Jun 22, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Photographs

A photo of this Kia should be added to the page.

[edit] Armani?

I was wondering if Kia Motor USA chose the name Amanti because of its similarity to Armani? And therefore people will think Armani when they hear the word?Davez621 08:16, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
