2011 Kia Optima EX

2011 Kia Optima EX
2011 Kia Optima EX - Automobile Magazine
Ride, handling, steering: all these dynamic qualities are among the best in class.

The new Kia Optima is remarkably good looking. I saw a design study for it at Kia headquarters in Korea in July 2009, and we've since seen it at auto shows and in endless photos, but then when you actually encounter one on the street, you're still a little shocked: THIS is a Kia?!? Wow. So sleek and upscale looking. One minor exterior fillip that I could do without is the GDI (gasoline direct-injection) badge on the trunk lid next to the EX badge. It reminds me of when GM would put badges like "ABS" and "Port Fuel Injection" on its cars.

Deep Dive: 2012 Mercedes-Benz S-Class
2012 Mercedes-Benz S-class - Deep Dive - Automobile Magazine
Mercedes isn't just introducing one brand-new S-class in 2012, but four of them.

Without China, North America, and the Middle East, the Mercedes-Benz S-class would be almost dead in the water. In Europe, sales of the aging starship have fallen behind those of the new Audi A8 and the BMW 7-series. A regional phenomenon or a major headache in the making? To stop the slide, Daimler is busy laying the finishing touches on the next big Benz, known as W222.
