Default Birth of the Kia Optima

here is a 45 minute video on the rebirth of the current Optima and what has gone into it from design (Peter Schreyer) to production and its involvement in racing. Very interesting and a must for any Optima owner. It shows a lot of the Georgia plant in West Point.

I think this video actually aired on the Velocity network last night at 1:00 AM. I only caught the last 20 minutes.
