Because of this, the car seems much smaller than my Malibu Maxx. Still like the styling, however. Replies to this message: mickeyrom (Apr 14, 2007 1:08 pm)

BTW,that damn light for the passenger air bag came on again.Maybe it was just an aberration.It only happened once so far.

anyone else interested in what the next-gen Kia Optima may look like. Take a look at this here.     You can definitely see the back end still looks like the current Optima but the front has been doctored and incorporates some of Peter Schreyer's (new Kia body design Chief) recent styling direction found on the Kia Kee concept car and even the Kia Kue concept crossover.   Looks pretty good but you can tell it's definitely under design development at this time. Hopefully it's not a complete photoshop, I found it on the Kia World website. Replies to this message: csandste (Feb 12, 2008 12:13 am) mickeyrom (Feb 12, 2008 5:43 am)
