The Kia Optima LX has been completely redesigned for 2006 -- well, technically, for 2006-and-a-half. The new car is a winner -- as you'll see by these pictures, it's full of the sorts of thoughtful details that launched the Japanese straight into American and Canadian car buyers' hearts. Click on the photos for more detail, and check out our 2006.5 Kia Optima LX test drive.
