In the last year, Kia has earned so many awards in so many different categories (design, safety, efficiency - you name it) that the team here at Turner Kia have had a hard time keeping up. But it's even more difficult when Kia wins more than one award at a time - particularly if the automaker wins three awards at one time. Which, by the way, they just did in the U.K.

You wanna know why the Kia Optima Hybrid continues to earn praise from industry insiders? Sitting behind the wheel is one way to find out, but maybe you need a gentle push into the showroom?

And the funky 2012 Kia Soul can get up to 36 miles to the gallon on the highway.
Easy on the wallet, that's for sure. But how about the...

The man largely responsible for this evolvement is Kia designer, Peter Schreyer previously employed at Audi.
According to Schreyer, there is currently no "Koreaness" about the current Kia lineup. And he's right - at least as far as production models are concerned.
