According to a Kia source, the Korean automaker is planning to do an estate version of the 2011 Kia Optima for the European market.<\/p>\n

When asked about a station wagon version of the 2011 Optima, Kia’s design chief Peter Schreyer said: \u201cI would love to do station wagon and coupe versions of the car. The station wagon would only really work for Europe but the coupe would work in the US.\u201d<\/p>\n

Heck, we’d love the coupe but we’d love to see a station wagon version of the Optima in the U.S. just as much.<\/p>\n

The 2011 Kia Optima sedan made its debut at the 2010 New York Auto Show<\/a> earlier this month. It will go on sale in the fall of 2010 with three engine choices including a 200-hp 2.4L GDI 4-cylinder, a 274-hp 2.0L GDI 4-cylinder turbo and a 2.4L hybrid variant due out in early 2011.<\/p>\n
