The grill could use a little work, but change out the wheels for something less weird (on that car, anyway) and it's pretty good lookin' actually. I dig the seat cover design... that steering wheel is... not quite right on it.

just looked up more information on it:
Underhood, the Optima’s powertrain offerings mirror that of the all-new Sonata. That means buyers will be able to choose from a 200 horsepower 2.4L, a turbocharged 2.0L delivering 274 horsepower and 34mpg, and a fuel-sipping hybrid system. Set to hit the market in 2011, the Optima Hybrid will mark the brand’s first gas-electric model.
Inside, the Optima continues that attention to detail, with an interior far more luxurious than the outgoing model. Standard features include Sirius Satellite radio, MP3 connectivity and Bluetooth wireless technology. Kia’s new UVO system will be on offer.
Kia has yet to release pricing for the 2011 Optima, but expect a starting price near the $20,000 mark.

Since Hyundai Sonata starts under $20,000 and Kia has always been a little cheaper than Hyundai, I would say around $19,000 or so.

I've always liked the Optima, and this one more so 
The front looks a little like the Forte koup, a fine looking small car too. The wheels, well, look strange. But that can be dealt with by the aftermarket.
