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....

Just another nail...

You could pretty much get a G6 for price that is competitive with the Kia. So to those people buying the Kia I ask why?? Given the choice you have a domestic alternative yet some people chose to buy from a Korean manufacturer instead of supporting their own.

Hmm....maybe its not just the government that's f'in things up. Maybe, just maybe it's the American people with their Walmart atittude that's helping things along.
