Look at the new Kia Optima trying to look like a Lexus LS430
Since I can only add ONE attachment at a time (holy cow!), I just created a page with the images:

So somebody in my condominium complex bought one of these.. I'm 4 floors up and as I was looking down into the parking lot, I saw this car.. At first glance I thought "who bought a Lexus"? Then I realized it wasn't an LS430 and thought maybe it was an Infinity... I eventually drove past the car and realized it was the new Kia Optima... Even the rims are copied from the LS430.. At first glance, from the front, this looks like the first version of the LS430.. The back and interior look nothing like it - but the interior isn't bad..
I just thought this was all very interesting..

Or maybe a combination of both cars.

Wow. Should I remind anyone of the previous gen E Class and S-Type and the current Optima? Or the previous gen Sorrento and the previous gen RX300? Seriously, Kia, get your own designs.
