| What KIA is this?
Saw this on the road all the time. It's as big as a Camry. What model is it?
BTW, what's with all the Korean cars only come in white, silver, grey or black.
and I am amazed they allow windshield tinting.

thats the 2011 kia optima, and yea koreans only prefer silver,black,pearlwhite,white cars, you dont see any other colors around, if there is a beige color car people go like 'woahhh a beige car!' no joke.. and tinting, it is illegal there for windshield tinting too but not as strict as here, people do windsheild tinting like the people that tint there front driver/passenger windows here in bc.. and of courese the other windows you can go as dark as you want in korea

i just noticed the side profile looks similar to an isx50, especially the shape of the rear windows and rear window quarter. a set of good wheels and some slammage would definitely make the car...aside that it's a kia.

I still prefer the look of the sonata over this though.
The Kia SOUL comes in many flashy colors. And a stripe

People here black out their headlights when they want less visibility at night.
Koreans tint their windshield. I guess its the same deal.

^^ that white one looks good. stepped-lip bbs lms, and he blacked out his roof and pillars.
his fitment seems to be on point too. when he lowers this, he'll be golden.

Nice looking car, they should bring the K7 here, would really give the Camry/Accords a run for their money. Quote:

Yeah, I'm driving a glorified Camry/Maxima car Vs a German luxury brand but its way better than having to look at a fugly car everyday.
