Honestly, if this car matches the driving dynamics of a TSX, I would be sold!

^That's ok. The new bread and butter Korean cars aren't meant for enthusiasts anyways. However, once your priorities change (family), it's hard to ignore the new comers. I for one, welcome our new Korean overlords.

I'm going to be a hypocrite and say that when I do need a family sedan and my budget is $25-30k, I will buy a 2008 TSX without hesitation.

Then the honda fan boy will say "Oh the new honda optima is so ugly, the design will never live up to it's name."

Seems like KIA and Hyundai are really stepping up the game. In terms of exterior design at least.

That thing looks hot!

i think Peter Schreyer has a big part in that. he was a automobile designer for audi and moved onto be the chief designer at kia

CumDumpster, do you know if any of the designers have a link to the Accord designers? They almost look the same.

this new Spectra looks a helluva lot better than the new Jetta and Passat. those new VWs look like crap. sucks to say that, as I like VWs a lot.
