Introducing the 2011 Kia Optima

Kia has released the stunning brand new Kia Optima and has been receiving rave reviews. The new Optima debuted at this year’s New York Auto Show with an exceptional new look. The Round Lake Kia Rondo dealership is impressed by the 2010 Optima’s sleek and smooth new look. Both the interior, exterior and functionality of this automobile have been updated to create an incredibly attractive and safe new Optima.

The exterior was certainly the first most noticeable change to the 2010 Optima. Kia chose to stick with a sleek simple design for the new Optima. The Optima used a fluid look with no complicated shapes, yet still retains a futuristic sharp edge.

Striking new 2011 Kia Sportage to be unveiled at Geneva Auto Show

Striking new 2011 Kia Sportage to be unveiled at Geneva Auto Show

I saw a picture of the 2011 Sportage that Kia is launching at Geneva’s Auto Show in early March…And I gotta say, I like what I see!  The SUV shown was a rich orange/rust color that was really eye catching.  Kia lovers, you will have to check this 2011 model out when it comes to your Kia dealer Gurnee.

The new Sportage takes after a few other Kia autos, such as the Soul, Cadenza, and Sorento.  It does have some design specifics seen in other European vehicles.  Also, the Sorento shares it’s shape with the new Hyundai Tucson.

Engine wise several engines may be available.  Keep in mind that nothing has been set in stone yet, as they’re still developing the models that will be sold at your Round Lake used cars dealer.  The gasoline engines will use the gasoline direct injected concept that Kia-Hyundai has developed.  One option is a 1.6 L that offers 140 HP and another that gives 2.0 L and 166 HP.

The design of the crossover is very nice.  It is longer and lower than other Round Lake used cars Sorento models.   The 2011 model will also have a wider shape, offering driver and passengers alike more cargo and body space.   Makes for a happier traveling crew for sure!

Another feature on the Sportage that’s really cool is the hexagonal shape that is part of the body on both the front and rear left and right side doors.   Check out the picture and see what you think?  I also like the rear bumper.  It’s got a clean and “higher than the front” look.  Overall, this crossover is one beauty!

The 2011 Sportage will be at your Kia dealer Gurnee later this year!  It will hopefully be a great money maker for Kia.  If you’ll be in the market for a new vehicle, keep this one in mind!

Kia Forte named “Car of the Year 2010″

The 2010 Kia Forte has been named Car of the Year at the NADAguides.com Awards (the leading provider of vehicle pricing and information) at the Los Angeles International Auto Show. Citing the car’s “best in class” features and stylish interior and exterior design, the group said the Kia compact was a standout vehicle in a pretty impressive field. And what’s more, the Kia Forte is also…get this…affordable. See for yourself at Round Lake used car and new car dealer, Classic Kia.

“Our editorial team realized the moment we got behind the wheel of the Forte that it would be a top contender for our NADAguides.com Car of the Year, but it wasn’t until we extensively drove the sporty four-door sedan and the two-door coupe that it solidified our decision,” said Michael Caudill, NADAguides.com auto expert and spokesperson. He said the decision was difficult, “But when you add up the low price point, Best in Class features, and a 10-year/100,000-mile limited powertrain warranty, it made our decision to award the Forte much easier.”
