I don't know why people quote IIHS and other such nonsense. Look outside dude. People don't care anymore. People would be killing Polar Bears to extinction in the streets if it meant their survival.
Who cares if the Optima is boring.
Does it get me from point A to B on less gas than a "pretty" car? It does? Then screw the pretty car. If only more people thought this way...maybe we wouldn't be in this mess.
But noooooooo. People are too worried about looking cool.
Shallow...and just another nail....
