The Korean automaker published several images of its upcoming flagship sedan that's set to debut on its home turf in the first half of 2012. Code-named the "KH," the rear-wheel drive car is targeted toward the high-end performance market, and it's likely coming to the U.S., although dates haven't been announced.
The KH will be sold in Korean in the first half of 2012.

After all, Kia's mascot is a pair of giggly hamsters driving a Soul. That could change as it targets car buyers with BMW taste, but shopping with a Kia budget.
