To Tell the Truth: NBA All-Star LeBron James Responds to Real Tweets about His K900

Cleveland Cavaliers forward stars in new comedic KIA commercials to prove he drives KIA flagship sedan

Let’s be honest: if you drove the KIA K900 available at Jim Butler KIA, St. Louis’ exclusive K900 dealer, you’d be pretty stoked. You’d be showing everyone your new wheels and the luxurious features without the luxury European price tag.

Chances are, though, that you’re not an 11-time NBA all-star and NBA champion. LeBron James is, and while many celebrities and athletes may be driving around in a new BMW or Mercedes-Benz with the gaudy price tag, the Cleveland Cavaliers forward drives to the games and around town in a 2016 KIA K900. There are some skeptics, though.

In the latest batch of new commercials from KIA Motors America, James responds to real life tweets questioning his legitimacy in driving a K900. James claims he was driving a K900 before he partnered up with KIA to be the model’s ambassador, and with the 2016 KIA K900’s upgrades and updates over the 2014 model year, fans still wondered if he really does drive a KIA.

In the newest first commercial entitled “Ten Mil,” James reads a tweet saying, “I’ll bet anyone $10,000,000 that LeBron doesn’t roll up to the games in a KIA.” James is confident in his love for the new KIA K900 that he’s ready to take the Twitter user up on that bet. He knows that since the bet was made on the Internet that is, in fact, legally binding.



James is ready for the user to “pay up” and proceeds to head from his house with an armored car, probably to carry the $10,000,000 back home. The K900 is “fit for a king.” Two other spots are set to air through the remainder of the NBA season.

The tweets from fans for the other spots are:

“There’s a thousand percent chance that there’s a zero percent chance that LeBron drives a Kia,” (“1,000%”) and “LeBron drives a KIA like I fly a spaceship” (“Spaceship”).

The K900 is starting to make a name for itself, and with celebrities such as James driving it, it’s certainly a luxury car that is both affordable and competitive with European brands that charge much, much more.

Luxurious K900 Eligible for Sign It & Drive It Event at Jim Butler KIA

$0 down on flagship KIA sedan all that’s needed for 36-month lease from the KIA Butler

For St. Louis luxury car fans, the current offers for the 2015 KIA K900 Luxury at Jim Butler KIA in Chesterfield Valley don’t get much better than this. Many members of the KIA line-up are enjoying the Sign It & Drive It event, and the K900 is no exception!

As St. Louis’ exclusive K900 dealer, Jim Butler KIA is offering the 2015 K900 Luxury for $0 down for a 36-month lease. The K900 gives its owners luxury feel, style and performance without the traditional European luxury pricetag. From the aerodynamic exterior to the 5.0-liter V8 mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission, the K900 lives and breathes luxury.

Jim Butler KIA offers $0 down when BMW, Audi don’t

The KIA K900 has become somewhat of a darkhorse in the luxury sedan segment, but more and more luxury fans are starting to take notice. Comparisons have been made holding up the K900 to the likes of BMW and Audi.

Where KIA excels is the current offers for a luxury sedan in St. Louis. The Sign It & Drive it event means those who purchase a K900 from Jim Butler KIA put $0 down for a 36-month lease starting at $599 per month.

All of those details of the lease — $0 down (excluding tax, title, license and dealer fees), 36 months, starting $599 a month, 12,000 miles per year — all best the competition for luxury vehicles in the same field as the K900. Let’s take a quick look at the current lease offers for BMW:

2015 BMW 740Ld xDrive 
$4,500 down payment 
Starting at $919/month for 24 months
10,000 miles per year
$6,344 cash due at signing

Lined up next to the K900, the comparably equipped BMW 740Ld may have the BMW name, but the German sedan requires thousands in down payments and cash due at signing for fewer miles per year, a shorter lease and higher monthly payments.

Now let’s review the offering from the comparably equipped 2015 Audi A8:

2015 Audi A8
$8,545 cash due at signing
Starting at $855/month for 36 months
10,000 miles per year

Well, this is a bit closer to the K900’s offering, but still miles away. While the lease is for the same length, the mileage is less per year. Pus, you shouldn’t have to fork over nearly $9,000 to drive a luxury car just because of the European nameplate.

The K900 offers you what other luxury cars can for a fraction of the cost even if the Sign It & Drive It event wasn’t going on. Now is the time to check out and test-drive a K900 for yourself at Jim Butler KIA in Chesterfield, MO, your exclusive K900 dealer for St. Louis. It’s time to rethink luxury and think K900!

St. Louis K900s at Jim Butler Kia Keep Pace with Luxury European Brands

Robb Report ranks impressive KIA K900 among 2015 Car of the Year finalists

The 2015 KIA K900 continues to prove its worth in the luxury sedan segment with its latest mention and honor. The K900 — available exclusively in St. Louis at Jim Butler KIA in Chesterfield Valley — ranked among Robb Report’s 2015 Car of the Year finalists.

However, making the Robb Report list is not the same as making a Kelley Blue Book list or Consumer Reports. Robb Report is a magazine publication that reports on "connoisseurship for ultra-affluent consumers" As the KIA K900 makes the list on a publication geared toward more affluent lifestyles, it shows how far the KIA brand and, specifically, the K900 have progressed in such a short time.

KIA recently topped luxury European brands like Mercedes-Benz and BMW in Consumer Reports rankings, and as a Robb Report finalist, it shows the K900 can keep pace with the grandest of luxury offerings.

How the K900 Impressed the Robb Report Judges

The KIA K900 was dubbed a "dark horse" by the Robb Report panel. Admittedly, they "questioned" KIA’s place in competition, but the K900 soon showed why it belongs in the same discussion as Cadillac, Mercedes-Benz and BMW.

The K900’s amenities and performance stood out to the judges as Robb Report said they "rival those of the big sedans from Audi, Jaguar Mercedes-Benz, Lexus, and BMW." They also were impressed by the nearly half-price cost of the K900 compared to its European counterparts — and that price includes the 10-year powertrain warranty.

"The [K900] also looks right at home when parked next to the latest Euro-luxury crop," Robb Report said.

A 5.0-liter V8 and its 420 HP powers the RWD Kia K900. This engine is mated with a smooth 8-speed transmission. The car’s finish is about the same as that of luxury European models, and the ranking among Robb Report’s top cars of the year show that KIA is now a formidable brand in the luxury segment.

Jim Butler KIA in Chesterfield Valley is your exclusive home in St. Louis for the K900. Come see for yourself why this flagship sedan is turning heads and turning people toward KIA from high-profile luxury brands!

Kia K900, Souls Offer St. Louis Families Best-in-Segment Awards

Each Kia vehicle wins top honors in respective segments

As St. Louis families search for a new family vehicle, Jim Butler Kia in St. Louis has award-winning hatchbacks and luxury large cars perfect for what fits their needs. Jim Butler Kia is St. Louis’ exclusive K900 sedan dealer, and the Kia Soul is an outside-the-box hatchback that makes for a great family vehicle.

U.S. News & World Report (UNWR) ranked its best family cars for 2015 across nine segments (SUVs and minivans each had their own segments as well). Kia’s top honors were the hatchback and luxury large cars with the Soul and K900 winning their respective categories.

Kia Soul: Personality and Practicality

In UNWR’s overall review of the 2015 Kia Soul, it ranks in the Top 10 of each in affordable small cars, affordable compact cars and hatchbacks. The Soul beat out other finalists for best family hatchback such as the Ford C-Max Hybrid and the Mazda Mazda3.

“The 2015 Kia Soul impresses reviewers with upscale cabin materials and an abundance of standard and optional features,” UNWR said.

Other facets of the ’15 Soul impressing judges were the spacious rear and front seats, competitive cargo space for the segment and the standard Bluetooth. More features standing out to the judges included the optional UVO infotainment system, rearview camera and panoramic sunroof.

The Kia Soul hatchback comes in three trim levels — base, Plus and Exclaim. The base trim is powered by a 1.6-liter inline 4-cylinder engine, while the Plus and Exclaim have the 2.0-L I4. A six-speed manual transmission comes standard, and the six-speed automatic is optional.

“The Soul has an excellent combination of space, safety and reliability ratings, as well as available family-friendly features. Those factors combined make it our 2015 Best Hatchback for Families,” UNWR said.

Kia K900: Flagship Luxury Sedan without the Luxury Price Tag

Your exclusive St. Louis K900 dealer is Jim Butler Kia, and St. Louis families looking for a luxury family sedan can check out the 2015 K900, winner of UNWR’s 2015 best large luxury car for families.

The K900 continues to hold its own as a rear-wheel drive luxury five-seat sedan as it topped the Audi A7 and Cadillac XTS in UNWR’s rankings. While some luxury car aficionados might hesitate at a Kia badge on a luxury sedan, the K900 causes them to double-take with its amenities and price tag.

Comfortable and supportive seats, spacious trunk, beautiful interior design, UVO infotainment system, a long list of standard and optional features — all those characteristics families would expect to see on an Audi or Cadillac, Kia delivers at a fraction of the cost.

The 2015 K900 is powered by either a 3.6-L V6 or a 5.0-L V8 mated with the eight-speed automatic transmission.

“...the 2015 K900 delivers a smooth ride, a powerful V8 and lots of features at a good price,” UNWR said. “It has the best combination of interior space, safety and reliability ratings and available family-friendly features in its class, making it our 2015 Best Luxury Large Car for Families.”
