the kia looks better than the hyundai. imo. just needs different wheels.

I'm still a fan of the CTS-V (as is the wifey)...but if they offered the Optima in a stick shift....

 

:wtf: personal preference though. I'd rock the Hyundai, but not the Kia. Hyundai is the higher trim level between the two, but I'm not sure what the major differences are. The Kia would be a lot nicer if they'd take the Hybrid'ish looking wheels off it.

 

In the end, I'd still go used CTS-V. I've actually moved my future plans from a C6 Vette to a slightly used 2010 CTS-V. I'll likely pick one up as they come off leases in a few years. Gotta love a 550hp kick-ass sedan. Just so much bang for the buck.

 

The one thing I think that would do BOTH versions, the Hyundia and especially the Kia some good, would be to disassociate the car with their logo's. Hyundia did it with the Genesis and they need to do it with the entire lineup. Looking at the Kia for a second time, the car isn't that bad, but the logo kills it.
