Kia reveal is prime; All-new Optima deployed for duty at 4th PIMS

Twenty years ago, Kia was an unknown quantity in the Philippines. Under the helm of Columbian Autocar Corporation (CAC), Kia Philippines started out by building and selling the Kia Pride, a dinky little contraption borne of an engineering partnership between Ford, Mazda, and Kia. This tiny little terror built Kia’s reputation as a competitive maker of cheap cars.

Sometime later, Kia merged with Hyundai. They started making “not-so-cheap” cars. And then they shanghaied Peter Schreyer to head their design department and they transformed, seemingly overnight, from a spunky wallflower into a stylish, sporty alternative to the mainstream.

Kia Philippines now offers everything from stylish super-minis to rip-roaring diesel SUVs. Where do you go from there? Start selling a halo car, of course. And at the 4th Philippine International Motor Show (PIMS), the Kia's all-new Optima’s HID and LED Halo shined pretty brightly.

this is an OEM feature of my sportage, i thought this also applies to the optima?
optima is really a nice car and my first choice before.
but because i need a higher ground clearance car in my present location, i ended up with my sporty.

the auto-dimming mirror only is also standard on my Optima.

Yes sir... had it for over 5 years now, only did 9,000 Kms so far bihira gamitin.
I'm actually thinking of selling it na kaya lang nakakapanghinayang
Baka upgrade ko na lang exhaust para naman may bago to have something to look forward to.
Ano kaya magandang full exhaust para dito?
Any recommendation from anyone?
