2007 Kia

The 2007 Kia Magentis preview, looking a lot like a 2006 Hyundai.

It looks about the same size of a new Sonata so maybe it's riding on that platform? I'm guessing Kia will drop the Optima, which rides on the old Sonata platform, and bring an all-new vehicle to its showrooms. I see a Q45 in the front, a Corolla in the doors and a little bit of the new Jetta in the rear.

Yeah, I see the Q45 up front. Otherwise, just alot of Sonata with a different glaze to it.

The Magentis is the next generation Optima, I assume...based on the Sonata... the US version (still called Optima?) will probably be built in Alabama with the Sonata, I suspect...

Like I said before.... Q45 headlights.

Like I said before.... Q45 headlights.

Similar cluster shape, different detail...the Q45 has those neat circular rotary dial phone-style openings on the larger light...

Kia now has a Camry clone to match Hyundai's Accord clone. It's the attack of the clones.

If the Sonata is the Accord, then this Optima is the TSX.
