Congrats, guys. Make sure to let all your car fanatic friends know that you just got a glimpse at one of the very first, exclusive pictures of the Kia Optima’s next generation. Also known as the Magentis, the car will not be officially revealed until April, whereupon its debut will occur at the annual auto show in New York.

I have to admit, since starting to do this blog, I have been paying a lot more attention to the cars, trucks, and SUVs I see on the road. Lately I have actually noticed a lot of Kia models; not only that, I have noticed some really sporty, really cute, and really edgy vehicles.

I think this generation of the Optima falls right in line with that design aesthetic. I can see where Kia is trying to go with their future. And I think the Optima is going to be a big hit when it finally debuts.

Do you remember the Frankfurt Motor Show? Well I do and I can tell you that this car is one that stood out to me. It is the Lexus LF-Ch Concept and I have to say that this particular Lexus is not only going to be awesome, but it is also causing a lot of waves in the automakers blogs.

For example, Autoblog.com just reported that the Lexus LF-Ch Concept is going to be shown again at the LA auto show as well as the Detroit one.

While this car is already accepted very well in Europe simply because of its size, the US is still on the fence about it looks like. Personally, I would love to have a smaller call and I think that the Lexus LF-Ch Concept is definitely the best option for me!
