It’s time to shake off any remaining stereotypes that you are still clinging on to against the Korean cars. Yes, once upon a time, Toyota was synonymous to quality and Hyundai/Kia was to cheap and unreliable cars. Amidst the massive recall of Toyota and Honda cars, there’s no better time than now for Hyundai/Kia to brush off any residual perception that it’s grammatically wrong to place words, “desirable”, “stylish”, “quality” and “Hyundai/Kia” in a same sentence. The Koreans are certainly doing an outstanding job in regards to that with the introduction of the highly applauded 2010 Hyundai Tucson, 2011 Hyundai Sonata, 2011 Kia Sportage and 2011 Kia Sorento.
Still not convinced? Above is a new render of the 2011 Kia Optima production model that will hit our Malaysian shores early next year.
