Kia Optima spec

In broadcast TV, network "up fronts" preview new fall shows.  By mid-winter, networks revamp their lineups.  An alternative:  drop in a blockbuster such as American Idol.    Hyundai and its Kia affiliate offer their own twists on TV land practices.  Hyundai was out first with its well-received Sonata.  Now, it's Kia's time in the limelight.  Each carryover nameplate snatches a newer, upscale audience--a programming coup.

Kia (ignoring its time-warp, overwrought computer-graphic laden Super Bowl spot) plays an entirely different game (particularly in EX trim).  It's a larger and certainly more attractive mid-size sedan than the one it replaced.  Verdict: it gets the Tinseltown go ahead.
