Would you pony up luxury-car prices for a luxury car that doesn’t bear the nameplate of an established premium brand? Cars.com reviewer Joe Wisenfelder says the 2014 Kia Cadenza works hard to make a convincing case for “yes.” This full-size sedan’s style is BMW in front and Audi in back, and it offers an all-around roomy cabin, tons of premium features and a nice-driving 300-horsepower V-6. Wiesenfelder says this “very nice car” offers much of what you’d look for in a premium sedan. So can you live with that nameplate? Watch the video and decide.
