HarleyEarl 1 Posted August 24, 2005 The 2007 Kia Magentis preview, looking a lot like a 2006 Hyundai. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sciguy_0504 0 Posted August 24, 2005 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flybrian 0 Posted August 24, 2005 Yeah, I see the Q45 up front. Otherwise, just alot of Sonata with a different glaze to it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cubical-aka-Moltar 2,262 Posted August 26, 2005 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... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cubical-aka-Moltar 2,262 Posted August 26, 2005 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... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SoCalCTS 25 Posted August 26, 2005 Kia now has a Camry clone to match Hyundai's Accord clone. It's the attack of the clones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pow 106 Posted August 26, 2005 If the Sonata is the Accord, then this Optima is the TSX. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
