Read backy's post above. You and csandste have scored very, very good automobiles that have caused the automotive press to stand up and deal wid it honestly, and the Optima actually came out smelling like a Washington state rose in glorious bloom. A good looking rose, too, I might add.
#11214 of 13221 Three mid-sized sedans make Ward's 10 best engines list by backy Dec 06, 2008 (10:33 am)
The Accord and 2010 Fusion/Milan hybrids are represented on the latest Ward's 10 Best Engines list--the 3.5L V6 for the Accord and the 2.5L hybrid powertrain for the Fulan:   http://wardsauto.com/home/best_engines_2009_081205/   It is encouraging that Ward's notes the Ford hybrid powertrain (tested in the Escape hybrid) managed to easily exceed its EPA ratings in their tests. That bodes well for the Fulan, which should be able to get better fuel economy numbers than the Escape.

Replying to: iluvmysephia1 (Nov 30, 2008 7:10 am) Sorry I didn't reply sooner,but I never got notification of your post.There seem to be some issues with that on this site. My Optima EX is black.I did not choose that,but with the equipment I wanted it was the only one my dealer could get his hands on.I've got over 24K on it and so far so good.I have had three people comment on it's good looks.This has never happened to me with any of the many cars I have owned.

no, Kia did a great job styling the 2006.5+ Kia Optima body. I first saw one on the road in Jackson Hole, WY, on vacation. It was a white one and it's driver was scooting right along downtown there. I had to look in my '01 Kia Sportage 4X4's side view, then rear view mirror. Very, very handsome vehicle, I might add. Replies to this message: mickeyrom (Dec 13, 2008 5:10 pm)

man, your last rig? Are you for sure? Don't you wanna join me in getting a 2010 Pininfarina-Bollore B0 all-electric car with $7,500 taken off of the price because it's a new "green" car the Obama Administration will give us a credit for? Sounds like a cool rig, I'll provide a link and/or picture if you like, later.

Replying to: akirby (Dec 23, 2008 10:00 am) I just read an article about this car,and the writer claims that he had no problem getting 52 MPG on combined.This car,he wrote,can go as fast as 47 MPH on electric power alone.He is concerned that Americans will not buy them because the lowered gas prices.Heck,the oil prices will go up again,unless we continue conserving.Where was this wundercar when we were paying $4 per gallon? I guarantee that if were in the market for a new car,this hybrid would be first on my list.
