Kia will present its take on a large and stylish estate car at the Geneva Motor Show next month when it introduces the new Sportspace concept. Looks great if you'd ask me.

I actually don't hate it, and don't really mind it's a KIA...interesting..
Nice. The rear looks very Alfa-esque. There's a bit of the Brera and 159 wagon in there, methinks.
I really like it. I usually don't care for wagons but that's a beautiful design.

looks very nice, but what I really like is how low to the ground it is and how tight the gaps are between the wheels and wheel well. Which leads me to wonder if this is something that is realistic or just a show car that would burst into a million pieces at the first pothole.
This will give the Astra Estate a run for its money.....

This looks awesome. I'd love to have that preview the new Optima, with the Sportspace being a Euro-only wagon variant. Speaking of, I wonder how successful the Optima has been in Europe so far.

Aren't we due to get the new Optima before too long?
Daddy likey.... Likey a LOT.

It's Optima-based so it'll be up against Insignia Country Tourer and Mondeo Estate
Too bad, N.A. will never see it. Thank goodness VW still understands the wagon market here.

Boy with this thing, I sure hope these spy shots of the next gen Malibu are bogus. If not it's going to be 2012 Malibu 2.0. I'm hoping this is just some China only model based on the current gen Malibu.

I'd buy this if a performance model was offered.
+1 On purchasing if a performance variant were available. In addition to really liking the exterior, I'm a pretty big fan of the simplicity of the interior. Not once have I considered buying a Kia, but if they offered the body as is and a more production ready interior that was equally simple, id be sold!

The 3/4 rear view is fantastic. The FWD overhang is a bummer for the side view but overall a very nice design. Would look awesome as a shooting brake performance model.
Wow! I'd rock it! It would be really nice if they brought it here, since it seems like Kia is doing pretty well with whatever they bring over.


Italdesign Giugiaro are most flattered that their 2015 is still so much in vogue.

The Kia Optima is a nice-looking car until you sit inside and see how much H/K have cut corners to give you the not-really-that-much-lower price.
