Those Optima's are very very impressive.

Hyundai/Genesis/Kia needs to get their name brands worked out. They would do really well to divide it up by economy/value/and a luxury brand. As it is everything is mixed up.

I concur with others, though the wheels really bring it down. Aftermarkets here would probably improve the look.

I had the option of swapping to these 18's but it wasn't what I wanted either. I figure Ill just find them aftermarket.

^I know his are 18's so you could always keep the tires and just find a nicer looking wheel like you said. Either way.... on this car!

I like that car. Whenever I see the commercial for that car I always comment to my wife how much that car looks awesome and it's a Kia. Keep us posted on how you like it. I may even buy one?

OK, now looking for wheels. Luckily they are 5x114.3's with high offset. Looking for ideas from anyone. I'm kind of stumped on whether or not to go mesh, or something more "modern".

nice addition!

Shouldn't this be moved out of the 4th gen forums now though?

The TL's rear seats, as you clearly know, are not great, especially the the middle which is useless on my SH-AWD version. Can't see the RL as much better. Perhaps the Accord has more room, I don't know. My Wife's RDX is quite good in the rear, and the MDX is very good and an amazing vehicle if you still have kids of that size to haul around. I was reading a review of the Buick Enclave, which is a nice vehicle and for a loaded up model, it is close in cost to the MDX. The Yukon, would likely be in the MDX price range. If I still needed a large SUV, I would get a MDX. As I don't need the size anymore I went with the RDX / TL.
