When are the Americans going to wake up? No matter how good their current models they just cannot seem to top the imports. Ridiculous. I would love a Fusion or Malibu to be as good as this car but they just cannot compete.
Very nice styling. Always wondered why the high-end styling aesthetic never migrated down the food chain so to speak, but that has now changed in the past couple of years. I've owned BMW's, Porsches, and now drive a beaten up 95 LeSabre. They all break down, they all cost money, so it's nice to see this segment open up with such exciting powertrains and middle of the road pricing. We are living in a great automotive era.
Just saw one in the flesh parked at a local restaurant right outside Yellowstone National Park. Looks pretty much the same as the concept shown here. I think this may very well replace my Subaru Impreza Wagon.
Kia, along with Hyundai, are on their way to ruling the automotive industry, and easily on first impression, the designs lure you in like fishers of men. They are now going from Bland to Bold and low to high in looks, value, and quality. The perfect example of this all is here: The 2011 Kia Optima, boasting sexy, high-end luxury looks that put top-of-the-line cars to shame. Even the interior looks purely out of it's price range. from the forte to this to other great models, Kia/Hundai conquer!
omg , wow, what a product. high quality , reasonable price stylish design it really has it all. KOREA is coming fast and the west is dealing with the deficit.
Designed by Volkswagen ,Audi group,however it just a look dont confuse! You gonna need a 100k Miles warrantie
