I can't stand the design direction that Korean cars have nowadays. Too many random lumps 'n' bumps for my taste. The Sonata's one of the least awkwardly lumpy, but it's still too strange for my likes.

That's a 4B11T...to the front wheels. Sidebar says FWD. As the other guy said, it's definitely not a "Kia Evo."

Quote from insideline "Our test-drive of an Optima SX included a mix of freeway running, straight stretches of the Pacific Coast Highway and a good bit of tight and twisting canyon driving. The latter proved that despite the turbo and the other sporty accouterments, the Optima SX Turbo is definitely aimed at the Camry/Accord buyer rather than the BMW/Audi ranks."

enough said...not an evo alternative..but a step up up for the econobox

the car looks great. I wish the EVO X looked like that, and weighed as much as that, but with it's drivetrain. if it did, I might be keeping mine. that car looks like a concept car...that's about the biggest compliment I can think of.

Friend owns this car in Korea(I'm in korea right now)
Called K5 in Korea.
Havent seen new turbo version in Korea yet.

Nice exterior.
Love LED lights and wheel
Looks big on outside but its tiny inside. Feels like IS250
New kia sportage looks just like this but in SUV size.

They aren't AWD, all models only have FWD.

Kia and Hyundai are making strides by using turbos and AWD, without the turbo motor, nobody would consider these. Pretty cool stuff
