I CAN agree they've improved on their past. Isn't saying much, imo, but it's true enough.

No offense, but that is the definition of fanboyism. If you can't give credit to another vehicle simply because it isn't produced by your manufacturer of choice, you fall clearly into the definition of fanboyism.

...So?

I will casually discuss and talk all sorts of cars...but there's a line that I will not cross when it comes to recomending or purchasing cars, and it says "Import".

Depends.

Do I live there long-term, or am I visiting?

Silly PQ....you ask like my wandering mind hasn't thought about this...

Well the Camaro would be an import then.

Uh-huh! And if I lived and worked in Europe long term...let's say Italy, because I like it there...I'd be interested in a Fiat, or Alpha, or Maserati, etc...Not a Caddy, not a Chevy, ...and probably not even an Audi or BMW...Of course none of the cars I'd consider are my favorites so I guess it's a good thing I live in America.

It just one of those pet-peeves of mine. I can stomach small purchases...but a car....it's just too big. Too expensive for me to justify anything but domestic.

And with that......I've completely derailed the thread and I apologize...carry on with kia....

Meh.......... I'm over it. I guess it was just shocking that I actually looked at a car and thought it looked good and it turned out to be a KIA.

It's there. I am guessing that this dealership offers some sort of extended 100k on top of the factory 100k. If nothing else give them a call and see what's up. They sure flaunt it around for everyone on their advertisements.

The malibu is a great car, but the new Optima is better than the current Malibu

The Sonata is even better

You would be surprised, this isn't the old Kia.
