Kia pulled out the stops once again!

Kia’s revolutionary designs were spearheaded by the current President of Hyundai Kia Motor Company & Hyundai Motor Group, Mr. Peter Schreyer. As Chief Design Officer and President of Hyundai Motor Group of Kia Motors Corp., from September 2006 through late 2012, Mr. Schreyer almost single-handedly reworked the entire Kia lineup with a new design direction to attract a younger customer. The current gen Optima was his tour de force. Even without a redesign the Optima continues to be one of the most attractive mid-sizes available in North America today.



Apparently his golden eye and hand was present in designing the next generation 2016 Kia Optima.

Following its 2010 debut at the New York International Auto Show, the Optima was directly responsible for Kia’s tremendous global sales growth.



Kia announced a few hours ago it will once again reveal the next generation Optima at the New York Auto Show on Wednesday, April 1.



It looks like designers looking to the future without regard to bland design were let loose to create the all-new popular 2016 Optima midsize sedan.

Not much of a fan of the small DLO in proportion to the large area of sheet metal but it looks very modern and I cannot wait to see the final result just two weeks from now. Wow!
