(I really don't feel bad)
The car is priced so damn high I wouldn't be surprised if nobody bought one from this point on.
Don't think it's priced too high as much as being an
old school, Korean luxo-barge w/o available AWD.
The K900 has sold 710 YTD which makes it on pace to sell around 1,400 for the year, which isn't bad since 2k was the minimum target set for the Equus by Hyundai.
And unlike the Equus, the K900 did not have a lower, mid-level sedan (like the Genesis) to set the table so to speak and Kia dealerships have not gone thru the amount of gentrification like Hyundai dealerships have done.
Also, Kia was supposed to launch a lower-priced V6 version of the K900 (kinda the pseudo substitute for not having a Genesis level sedan), but it seems like they may be waiting until the TTV6 is ready (so likely not until the next gen model).
The next gen K900 with a more modern ride/handling, better sheetmetal, a more luxurious interior, a 6 cylinder variant and most importantly, AWD, should at least double sales.
What will also help is the launch of the production version of the GT concept (Kia's version of the Genesis, albeit a bit smaller and sportier) - which should help raise awareness/drive more foot-traffic to Kia dealerships for lux sales.
K900 and Equus sales together are on pace to sell 3.738 for the year - which is a little off the top sales year for the Equus which sold nearly 4k in 2012 (the K900 probably has taken some sales away from the Equus, as has the 2G Genesis - along with the general move away from large sedans to mid-large CUVs, which is why Hyundai should have been working on a Genesis-based CUV already).
The A8 is on track to sell 5k for the year.
The XJ is on track for 3,712 (right with the Equus/K900); in all likelihood, the F-Pace Jag CUV will be Jag's best selling non-entry level model.
The RLX is on track to sell 2,400 for the year (at lower pricepoint than the Equus/K900).
And all of these have AWD.
