Brand-new Kia Magentis to take center stage at NY Auto Show

Tis the season….For auto shows, that is.  In April, the New York International Auto Show kicks off with many amazing cars, trucks, and SUV’s hoping to wow the general public.  One new model for Kia, the Magentis, will be there and it looks great!

This exciting new model will replace the Optima here in the US and a few other markets.  It truly is a beautiful looking sedan, with  “long and lean” styling.  The roof-line is sloped and flows elegantly into the rear trunk space.  Compared to other Gurnee used cars, it is longer, wider, and will be a bit lower.  As a result of these characteristics, there will be more cargo and passenger space.  These are never a bad thing when you own a car!

Kia Sorento promises pleasant driving with hands-free infotainment system

Kia appeared at the Detroit auto show – not featuring a new product, but rather new technology. This new technology was a hands-free in-car infotainment system, called Uvo (meant to stand for “Your Voice”).  Based on Microsoft’s auto software platform, Uvo allows drivers to use voice commands to control their phone and music functions while on the road.

Escape from Hamsterdam

I’m thinking about purchasing a Kia Soul. I visit the Kia website and make my way to the page dedicated to the hip, urban ride. I start to customize one, thinking of the essentials and not-so-essentials that I absolutely must have.  Then, I’m carefully hovering over a very important button. A “buy now” button? No, even with Kia purchasing a new car isn’t that streamlined. Rather I’m taking great care over a button called “Launch”. I’m ready. I press it quickly and firmly. And my hamster is propelled 21 feet through the air, with the aid of a couple of surfboard-topped Souls.

OK. I’ll tell you what I was doing. Or if you look below, I’ll show you.
