I think they're planning on expanding along with the stinger.

Stringer could work because it would be a lower price point and a sporty car that they don't have.  But Stinger could make the Cadenza irrelevant also.

very different cars, particularly in interior room. going by the chart above, the Cadenza is already irrelevant though. 

It's a shame because the Cadenza is a credible alternative to the Avalon and better looking than Azera

Cadenza is both of those things but the Azera is irrelevant, Taurus is in its swan song and will be dead by 2020 and Imapala and Avalon sales are dropping 20-30%  each year.  There just isn't much reason to stay in this segment unless you are a top 3 or 4 seller.

The K900 is just a showcase of what the company is capable of and gives Optima drivers something to strive for, for the future. It doesn't cost them much to keep it available here as an option. The Cadenza is a pretty nice car but mostly on the inside. I have a strong feeling the Stinger will be a popular car on the road and will definitely bring focus to the brand and people into Kia showrooms...
