Our favorite South Korean automaker certainly has been busy. With the debut of a new concept and Superman inspired Kia Optima recently, we weren't expecting a whole lot for the upcoming New York Auto Show. How wrong could we be? Turner Kia is proud to announce that not one, but three redesigns will be in attendance.

Since the inception of Kia Motors America in the '90s, the Korean automaker has been known for providing American drivers with reliable, affordable, and safe vehicles. Recently, however, you may have noticed that car shoppers are turning to Kia for an entirely different reason: style.

Much of this is thanks to a gentleman named Peter Schreyer, who is mostly responsible for what Kia has called a "design led transformation."¹ As the Global Head of...

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.

That's right...

It's hard to believe, but the first half of 2012 is over. And the team here at Turner Kia could not be more excited about the second half of the year - especially considering how well Kia did over the last six months. That is to say, between April and the end of June, Kia dealerships around the country sold more than 150,000 units - making the first half of this sales year the best...

The Kia Motors Manufacturing plant in Georgia (KMMG) opened late in 2009, and was the very first site of Kia manufacturing here in the United States. So far, it's been quite the success, with plant workers turning out as many as 360,000 of the award-winning 2012 Kia Optima and Kia Sorento, annually. But the cars aren't the only things worth the applause - the whole team in Georgia is award-winning, too.

Most recently...

Want to win a brand-new Kia Optima Limited? Well, it's really easy if you're a member of the LPGA and think you can win the Kia Classic this year. That's right, Kia is not only the "Official Tournament Vehicle" for the Ladies Professional Golf Association, but the very first new Kia Optima to roll off the production line in West Point Georgia will be driven away by the tournament winner.

Okay, they...

Oh, we sure do love the 2012 Kia Optima here at Turner Kia. We're pretty sure it'd be hard not to love, with an available 274 hp and 24 mpg, a hybrid variant, unmatched styling, and handling that goes unmatched. And, when Kia released the all-new Optima last year, they were sure it'd take people by surprise. What they maybe didn't expect is just how very many awards it would earn...

It seems reviewers have a hard time finding anything that they don't like about the 2012 Kia Forte. Turner Kia is in agreement - it's a really great car. It's affordable, stylish, fun to drive, efficient, roomy, loaded with technology... Okay, okay, you get the point. But our question is, do you think Kia could make it any better?

We weren't sure they could, but recent leaked sketches of the...

Kia is already on the path to winning over fans with their Kia Soul - but the South Korean auto maker wants to tackle the midsized model world. Their sedan, the Optima, has been on the market for several years.

But a newly redesigned Optima has hit the floor at 2010's New York International Auto Show - and the response so far has been marvelous.

It's quite a journey from the original Optima, which was less style and more useability, was given an full body makeover from the people at Kia. The 2011 model will be available at a Kia…
