The new Kia Optima

Is it just me, I think its a really sexy looking car Kia have come out with, both inside and out.. No Hatchback though? I'd have thought a hatchback would sell better..

They are very nice indeed, but take a look at the price, they start at nearly £20K. Kia are no longer a budget car maker.

Apart from the wheels, it looks a nice car car

Nice looking thing.

That looks like a hatchback to me.

it is a smart looking car, the wheels on their own are vile but somehow suit the car

i wouldnt spend £20k of my own money on it but its a nice looking thing.

mind you their 2012 sportage is as well, clearly have a new designer working there!

They are still a budget car maker, look at the price of a used optima in 3 years time they will depreciate to what they are worth, not much, and i can't imagine that 1.7 diesel will be up to much

looks like the front of an insignia and the back of a mondeo. looks good and all that with the kia warranty is bound to sway the rep mobile buyers.

I'll but a cheap one once the price has fallen through the floor in 4 years lol
