K900 V6 competition

Despite the fact that executives at both Hyundai and Kia alike have said on numerous occasions that the two companies are separate entities (and largely, they are), there's still a lot that's shared between the two brands. Common platforms and powertrains are found in a number of different Hyundai and Kia products, though the end results have typically been cars that, to the consumer's eye, are quite different. So when Hyundai got its first rear-wheel-drive sedan, the Genesis, a few years ago and followed it up with the larger, more luxury-oriented Equus, it was only a matter of time before sister company Kia got a slice of the RWD pie. And the first product to use this architecture is this, the new K900 sedan that makes its debut at the LA Auto Show.

Hyundai did (almost) the exact job as what Ford has done to three flagship models.
The K900 is like the Crown Victoria, the Genesis is like the Grand Marquis, with the Equus being with the Town Car. The K900 is a near-luxury full-size car, with the Genesis being a midsize premium car and the Town Car being a full-size luxury car.

Your lineage comparison sucks!! The GM was slotted ABOVE the CV in equipment, the Genesis (G80) is slotted below the K900 in both price and size. Also the G80 is NOT REALLY a midsize, it's actually more or less a shorter-wheelbase full-size like the standard A8/7er/S-Class.
The K900 is more luxurious than any Lincoln and almost any Cadillac except CT6.
