2011 Kia Optima – Click above for high-res image gallery<\/small><\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n

\nThanks to designer Peter Schreyer, Kia<\/a> has been cranking out some really impressive-looking vehicles recently. In fact, the Soul hatchback<\/a> was a contender for the World Design of the Year award. And while we’ve seen hot new designs for both the Sorento<\/a> and Sportage<\/a>, the most significant addition to the Kia portfolio is the revamped 2011 Optima sedan<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Optima shares its platform and powertrains with the recently introduced 2011 Sonata<\/a>, but the design is wholly unique. It features a bold new front fascia, swoopy side lines and a sleek rear end, and with its impressive fuel economy and choice of naturally aspirated or turbocharged power, the Ford Fusion<\/a>, Honda Accord<\/a> and Toyota Camry<\/a> indeed have some stiff competition coming in the near future. Click through our gallery of live shots below to see high-res photos of the Optima.<\/p>\n
