Not bad. I'm liking the looks of some of the new understated grills vs all of the in your face front ends out there now.

this times a billion! Very refreshing. Not everything has to be in your face. Understated is the new hotness!

This is a nice evolutionary update. Always thought the Optima was a good looking car for its class/price.

I like it, but had wished they would be bringing the front hood line down to the grill. It would have been a cleaner look, in my opinion.

I never jumped on the current Optima bandwagon. The general consensus that it was good looking was far and away for me. This revised face just did wonders in my book

Not bad overall. Still don't care for Kia's oddly shaped grile. The top and bottom indentations are hard to process at a quick glance.
