Has anyone seen the new Kia Optima? It is pretty similar looking to the Q45, especially the shape of the headlights.

maybe it's just me, maybe it's just the way the pictures are done, it could just be the color of the car. It seems to me that on the street this $15,000 car could be mistaken for the $50,000 techno-wizard Q45. Has Kia stolen our striking new look?

That's called the Majestic in Canada, is it really called the Optima in the US???
Wasn't the Optima an old rebadged Pontiac Lemans?

I agree. Those Optimas look an awful lot like the 2nd gen('97-2001) Q45s. But of course it's only got a 3L V6 instead of a 4.1L V8.:D

i am very deeply offended by the fact that you could mistake a kia for the new Q. honestly, the new Q is probably the coolest luxury car ive ever ridden in.
but the kia does look alot like the Q. kia copied the Q pretty badly

if you guys think that the Optima is a copy off of Infiniti, wait til ya see the new Sonota. Talk about MB/Lexus rip off.
