Pretty soon Kia will have those LED style headlights. I hope Lexus goes away from it soon..... The outside of the 300 doesn't look too bad but the interior is ugly. Nice post Hoovey.

Kia already has LED strips on the Sportage model. I don't think they will go away soon though. LEDs are trendy right now.

Leds aren't trendy, they are a requirement in Yurope now apparently, so manufacturers have no choice but to make their cars look like Christmas trees.

Not all brands have to look like Christmas trees like Audi's lineup currently does . Mercedes, BMW, and Lexus have done a pretty good job of making the LEDs look classy.

LED strips are more of a safety issue now. Think of day time running light but better.

Oh wow, was not aware Kia already had them. I understand the safety aspect but I prefer regular DRLs, I'm sure they will grow on me over time....

I agree. It does look like a Chinese knock off of the original. If they put as much effort into it as they say, I don't know why they couldn't have created a fresh looking car like Ford did with the Taurus.

I do think the interior is good though. The old interior was ultra cheap. This is decent.
